I think this is the reason
yea but he got a nice contract as a coach. as a player, he'll get what. 1 million dollars for a year?. best option is to go back to the drawing board, be an assistant coach or be a tv analyst. Go to the courts, and get a reduction in child support. Be a man, apologize to Matt barnes. explain the situation and go from there. At least get your dignity and respect back. Thats the problem. Nobody respects Fish anymore after the snake move he pulled. and to be honest, it's not just the Matt barnes situation. What about leaving dallas and joining Okc? talking about he didnt wanna be away from his family. Or leaving Utah to go to the Lakers? Just a snake as a player and human being. Everytime he doesn't get his way, he finds a way to get out of it. I wouldnt be surprised if he asked Phil to fire him because he wasn't happy in New york. (If he resigned, it would be him being a quitter compared to just getting fired)
