Mike Woodson One Time Let Player Skip Practice for a Hot Date

If anyone has ever watched The Game 365, they probably weren’t very impressed. I have never heard of it or the network it airs on (MSG), but it appears that they finally had something very entertaining to share when they talked about current New York Knicks head coach Mike Woodson. Woodson shared his story about his life. Most of the show was boring, but my man Stephen Coston over at NBA 24/7 365 caught something that had to be shared. Apparently, towards the end of the show, Woodson shared some of the weirdest moments being an NBA head coach. When he was coaching the Atlanta Hawks, Woodson explained this crazy conversation between him and center Zaza Pachulia. I’ll let Coston take it away here:  “When players come to work, you don’t know what to expect,” Woodson said.  “Prime example: Zaza Pachulia comes into my office…” Zaza: Hey coach, can you let me out of practice today? Woodson: For what? Zaza: Man, I got a hot date. Woodson: Are you kidding me?  Do you love this girl?  Zaza: Nah coach, I can’t be in love, I’m too young. Woodson: I take it you aren’t gonna marry this girl then?  Zaza: Nah, coach. It was at this point that the interviewer, visibly dumbfounded by this scenario, asked, “well, did you let him go?” “Yeah, I let him go,” said Woodson, “but only because he worked his butt off for me.” Gotta love that story. Knicks players, don’t try this, as Woodson said that he will never let this slide again. The post Mike Woodson One Time Let Player Skip Practice for a Hot Date appeared first on FootBasket.
