Mike Woodson, who guided the New York Knicks to the NBA playoffs after taking over as interim coach in March, signed a multi-year contract extension, according to the team.
"Mike took over the team under challenging circumstances and made it clear, starting on day one, that he was going to hold every player on our roster accountable," said James Dolan, executive chairman of the Madison Square Garden Company that owns the Knicks, on Friday.
"We saw a significant improvement since Mike took over and believe our team will only keep improving under Mike's direction."
Woodson was named interim coach when Mike D'Antoni stepped down on March 14.
Woodson led New York to an 18-6 regular-season mark over the final 24 games and the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The Knicks fell to the Miami Heat in five games in the first round, their victory in game four of the series snapping an NBA-record 13-game post-season losing streak.
"I'm very humbled and honored to continue coaching the franchise where I started my NBA career," Woodson said. "Our goal is to build off the success we had at the end of last season and to continue our quest of bringing an NBA Championship to Madison Square Garden."
