At the diner yesterday, on his way to work at the Knicks' practice facility in Greenburgh, N.Y., even though he had given his players the day off, Williams said, "I always felt like I had an idea of what the team I was playing on was supposed to be doing. Especially at the end of my career. More and more, I found myself thinking to myself, 'What would I do in this situation if I was coaching the team?'"

Williams was asked if he thinks he has a real chance at holding on to this job when the season is over, especially if the Knicks play the rest of the season the way they have played the last three games.

"Yes," he said. "I believe I have a shot."

He is an adult, incapable of being someone other than himself, in all situations. He coached that one game, against the Magic, the night Don Chaney got fired. And the thing that was most striking about that occasion was that Williams, the old pro, looked completely comfortable in his circumstances. He looked as if he belongs and still does.

"He's been instrumental," Jamal Crawford said, offering a glowing endorsement of the coach. "He's just says to go out there, play hard and leave it all on the floor."

Quote:

Earlier this week in a radio interview, Thomas praised the job Williams has done. Yesterday the coach was flattered when told of Thomas' comments and admitted being more comfortable running the Knicks bench.

Quote:

"I think any time you start a new job, you're going to be nervous, you're going to be a little cautious in what you're doing and the more you're there, the more time you spend on the job, the more comfortable you're going to get," Williams said
