NEW YORK -- Some may be calling for Mike Woodson's job in the wake of the New York Knicks' disastrous one-point loss to the Washington Wizards on Monday.

But Knicks star Carmelo Anthony believes the coach is safe.

"As far as I'm concerned, he's secure right now. I haven't heard anything," Anthony said Monday night after initially declining to answer a question about Woodson's potential status. "There's nothing to discuss. He's our coach, and we're rolling with him."

Woodson's job security has come into question in recent weeks with the Knicks (7-17) playing well below expectations. Two crucial late-game errors Monday only put more heat on the coach.

New York had a one-point lead with 24 seconds to play and a foul to give. Instead of using the foul, the Knicks allowed Bradley Beal to drive for an uncontested layup with 6.9 seconds left.

Then no one called for a timeout, and no final play was set up. Instead, Anthony dribbled the ball across half court and took an off-balance, 25-foot shot that fell short as time expired.

The Knicks had three timeouts remaining.

"I probably should have taken a timeout there at the end," Woodson said, "but you know, Beno [Udrih] grabbed it [to inbound] and the ball is in Melo's hands before I could even react, and I should have reacted a lot sooner once the ball went through the bucket.

"So that's on me. I didn't call the timeout, so I've got to take the heat for that."
