Miller spent four years as the Knicks' G-League coach and was named the G-League Coach of the Year following the 2017-2018 season. Since then he has been promoted to the Knicks' bench.
Ousted alongside Fizdale was assistant coach Keith Smart.
Across less than two seasons with the Knicks, Fizdale posted a 21-83 record, failing to turn the struggling organization around.

In order to fill Miller's vacant spot on the bench the Knicks have decided to call up Keith Bogans from their G-League coaching staff.
Considering it'd be a miracle for Miller to suddenly get results with a roster like this don't expect any more coaching changes soon. That cannot be said for other backroom positions however.
