Larry Brown is not happy with the New York Knicks.

The current SMU coach and former New York Knicks coach criticized the hiring of Phil Jackson as Knicks team president and slammed New York for their treatment of friend, protégé and current Knicks coach Mike Woodson during an interview with SiriusXM NBA radio on Monday.

“I’m sick about what’s happening with Michael (Woodson),” Brown said. “The way they’ve treated Mike Woodson, I think he went 15-5 when he took over that team two years ago. And then last year they won 54 games. I think from 2001 they might’ve won one playoff series. He’s done a remarkable job. They’ve had terrible injuries. They lost a GM that I thought did a great job. And then they didn’t bring any older guys. When you lose Jason Kidd and Kurt Thomas and Rasheed Wallace, you lost your locker room.”

Then Brown wondered why the Knicks didn’t hire Jackson to coach.

“It’s just troublesome to me to bring in Phil Jackson, not that he won’t be great, but let him coach. You’re not going to make the Knicks better by living in L.A. and being there half the time and not talking to your coach. Let him coach. He was the best coach probably ever. Let him coach,” Brown said. “If that’s the way they want to do it let him coach and give Woody a way to leave graciously. But he’s out on the limb and that’s not fair. For a guy that really turned that franchise around and made people proud of the way they played I don’t think he’s been treated fairly and that really bothers me.”

Brown also didn’t like that the Knicks removed Glen Grunwald as GM and replaced him with Steve Mills.

“I don’t know what he (Mills) knows about the sport to be honest with you. … Steve Mills has no clue. They fired (Glen) Grunwald who was tremendous,” Brown said.

Brown also said. “Give Mike a chance to leave graciously. Because he did a lot for that team, and that’s unfortunate, I don’t think you treat people like that. And in the long run there is bad karma when you do that.”
