Bernie Mullin, president of the Atlanta Hawks, said head coach Mike Woodson will return for his fourth season despite another losing season.

Mullin said the Hawks' ownership group has not yet met in a "formal sit-down," but he said the message from the owners was that Woodson deserves another chance after enduring a season-long battle with injuries.

"Clearly they feel that a change in Mike Woodson's status at this point in time would be completely unfair," Mullin said.

"Obviously he didn't have a fair chance with the talent being out as much as it was this year. We had catastrophic injuries."
