Despite the above average coaching job he did against the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs, Hawks' Coach Mike Woodson could be on his way out of town, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

His current contract runs out at the end of the season, and there were rumors that ownership tried to fire him several times during the regular season.

"I hope he comes back," All-Star Joe Johnson said Sunday. "I hope we're able to bring him and his entire coaching staff back. That was one of the main attractions for me coming here [from Phoenix three years ago], so I would definitely love to see him come back."
