When the Knicks demoted GM Glen Grunwald last week, there were rumors that Mike Woodson’s job could be in danger. After all, Grunwald had been one of Woodson’s biggest supporters within the Knicks’ organization.

However, it appears Coach Woodson is safe, for the time being. The Knicks announced Monday that they have picked up Woodson’s option for the 2014-2015 season, meaning that his contract— which would have expired following this coming season— is guaranteed for another year.
