The Knicks announced Saturday that they have reached an agreement in principle with Mike D'Antoni to become the team's head coach. Phoenix won at least 54 games in each of D'Antoni's four full seasons there. The only NBA coaches to change teams after four straight seasons of 54 or more wins were George Karl (Sonics-Bucks, 1998); Pat Riley (Lakers-Knicks, 1991); K.C. Jones (Celtics-Sonics, 1990); and Bill Fitch (Celtics-Rockets, 1983).
The Suns won 232 games over the last four seasons, nine more than the Knicks' highest win total over any four-season span in their history (223 from 1991-92 to 1994-95).
