Something had to give after the Atlanta Hawks second-round collapse and-a-half to the Orlando Magic...
As it turns out, the head coach has been given his walking papers...
Mike Woodson, who has seen the team through seasons and rosters that were absolute garbage and into playoff teams, is out after being swept 4 games to none- losing by an average of over thirty points per game in the series...
Here's your reminder of just how bad the Hawks-Magic series got...

Executive VP/General Manager Rick Sund met with Coach Mike Woodson this morning and informed him that he will not be offered a new contract.
“After careful consideration, we have made a difficult decision regarding Coach Woodson’s contractual status,” said Sund. “We’re grateful for Mike’s contributions over the last six years and we want to wish him the very best.”
Named the 10th head coach in Atlanta Hawks’ history on July 8, 2004, Woodson produced a 206-286 (.419) record in six seasons at the helm of the Hawks, and a 53-29 (.646) mark this past season. He coached Atlanta to three straight postseason appearances, finishing with an 11-18 (.379) record.
