Stoudemire address comments

Earlier in the week Knicks forward/center Amar'e Stoudemire explained to the media that he had never been taught defense until Mike Woodson took over for Mike D'Antoni as head coach of the Knicks.  D'Antoni called the comments "Mind Boggling" but yesterday Stoudemire brought clarity to the situation.  

“It wasn’t meant to be as exaggerated as it was,” Stoudemire said. “For the simple fact: Woodson is a defensive coach. He’s known to be a defensive coach. So his strategies he’s teaching me now is different from what I learned before. He puts a lot of emphasis on the defensive end — more than I ever had before...It wasn’t a knock on any of my previous coaches. I had great success with Coach D’Antoni. He had to be doing something right because we won many games. It was more a compliment to Coach Woodson.’’
