NBA coaching great Phil Jackson, in his first full season as president of the New York Knicks, shouldered responsibility for the club's dismal season.
"This is a mea culpa," Jackson said before his Knicks were routed 110-82 by the Charlotte Hornets - extending New York's club-record losing streak to 15 games.
New York fans are getting restive, taking out their frustrations with jeers of their own team and sporting paper bags on their heads at games to hide their shame.
"I take responsibility for it," Jackson said, adding that he didn't think fans should address their ire at first-year coach Derek Fisher.
"It's not his fault," Jackson said.
"Obviously I didn't do the right thing in picking the group of guys that were here."
