"Lenny Wilkens resigned last night as Knicks coach and will be replaced by assistant coach Herb Williams, according to a league source.
The stunning development came just hours after Scott Padgett's jumper at the buzzer had given the Houston Rockets a 92-91 victory over the Knicks at the Garden. Within minutes there were rumors flying around the arena that Knicks president Isiah Thomas had fired Wilkens, the legendary coach whom Thomas hired last Jan. 15. However, a team source denied that Wilkens had been fired and would only say that Wilkens was contemplating resigning.
There is a possibility that Wilkens, 67, grew tired of the constant speculation about his job security. Or this could be a case of the Knicks wanting it to look as if Wilkens resigned rather than say he was fired. After all, Thomas was responsible for hiring Wilkens last Jan. 15."
