AUBURN HILLS -- The NBA coaching carousel is at a standstill -- for now at least.
NBA coaching changes this time of year are about as common as Midwest snowfall.
And Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson is among those hoping to avoid getting caught up in the potential coaching flurry.
"I knew it was going to be a tough job when I took it," Woodson said. "But if all jobs were easy, all guys would have them."
Woodson, a former Pistons assistant coach, has failed to get the Hawks into the playoffs each of his first three seasons in Atlanta.
However, injuries and inexperience -- Atlanta has been one of the NBA's youngest teams every year he has been the coach -- have been major hurdles for Woodson to conquer.
But in this, the final year of his contract, Woodson appears to have the Hawks headed in the right direction.
They come into tonight's game against Detroit with victories in three of their past four games. Despite having a 10-11 record, it's good enough for the seventh-best record in the Eastern Conference.

Isiah Thomas, New York: The losses, on the court and in the court of law, are too great to see Thomas lasting much longer.
Randy Wittman, Minnesota: The front-runners for the Michael Beasley sweepstakes (this year's Greg Oden) have shown no signs of improvement.
Mo Cheeks, Philadelphia: GM Billy King got the ax last week. Can Cheeks be too far behind?
Mike Woodson, Atlanta: A playoff berth seems possible if the Hawks can avoid the injury bug.

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>Maintaining that position would put the Hawks in the playoffs for the first time since 1999.
"That's one of the goals with a young team, to get to the playoffs," Woodson said.
Another coach with an uncertain future, Philadelphia's Mo Cheeks, has his club playing better basketball these days.
The Sixers are riding a season-best four game winning streak.
"It's better than a four-game losing streak," 76ers coach Maurice Cheeks told reporters after Philadelphia's 98-94 win against Minnesota on Wednesday. "We're just trying to go out there and compete every night."
Competing is good; winning games, even better.
For some teams, losses on the court are just the beginning of their problems.
The New York Knicks (6-15) are tied with Miami for the worst record in the Eastern Conference. However, the Knicks have taken their share of blows off the court as well.
Earlier this week, the Knicks, Madison Square Garden and coach Isiah Thomas settled the sexual harassment case brought against them by former team executive Anucha Browne Sanders for $11.5 million.
"As I have said before, I am completely innocent," Thomas said after the settlement was announced. "This decision doesn't change that. However, this is the best course for Madison Square Garden, and I fully support it."
There are many who believe the next best course of direction for the franchise is to get rid of Thomas, who is serenaded by a chorus of boos at every home game these days.
But Thomas vows to stick it out until the bitter end, hoping that when the coaching carousel starts to spin, he will be among the spared.
"I've been in tough situations before where I've had to roll up my sleeves and get the job done," Thomas said in an interview with USA Today earlier this season. "And this is no exception."
PISTONS NOTES
McDyess surprise: The way Antonio McDyess went crumbling to the floor in the fourth quarter on Wednesday, many feared the worse.
Multiple knee surgeries have that affect on people.
"It seemed worse than it was," said McDyess, who actually suffered a sprained left ankle. "It hurt more on the inside than anything else."
The pain subsided long enough for McDyess to return to the court which was the last thing anyone -- including McDyess -- expected.
"The pain went away," he said. "It felt good. I did some cutting ... I could still go, so I decided to come back."
Early All-Star results: Four Pistons ranked among the top 10 All-Star vote-getters at their respective positions. Rasheed Wallace was third among centers with 69,331 votes. Chauncey Billups was sixth among guards with 125,202 votes and Richard Hamilton was ninth with 66,617.
And Tayshaun Prince was eighth among forwards with 63,787 votes.
Out: Hawks forward Al Horford is suspended for tonight's game after striking Toronto point guard T.J. Ford across the head in Atlanta's 100-88 loss to the Raptors on Tuesday.

i have a feeling this game is going to end up at a Cavs 2 point or 3 point win. Line up to -3.5 like i said, i remember a pistons game last year you pounded and i caught it quite late so i lost out by 2 points and you managed to get it by the hook. Hopefully we don't have to panic about this one. Good Luck bro.

NEW YORK (AP) -- A 23-year-old model has filed a lawsuit accusing New Jersey Nets star Jason Kidd of groping and threatening her at a Manhattan nightclub two months ago.
A spokesman for Kidd denied the allegations as a "false" and "defamatory" attempt to get money from the player who earns almost $20 million a year.
The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan's state Supreme Court, said Kidd "battered and assaulted" the woman in the Lower West Side club Tenjune on Oct. 10 when he "grabbed her buttocks and crotch on multiple occasions."
"He kept staring at her and then went over and grabbed her butt," the woman's lawyer, Russell S. Adler, said Friday.
He said, "She told him 'Get off me! Get away from me!"' before bouncers pulled Kidd away.

</NOSCRIPT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Words were exchanged and Kidd grabbed the woman again, pushing her against a wall and putting his hand under her dress, Adler said. When she protested, the lawyer said, Kidd asked, "If we have a fight, who do you think is going to win?"
Adler said that when his client tried to send a text message, Kidd slapped her cell phone out of her hand. Adler said she left the club in the Meatpacking District a short time after that. A spokesman for the New York City Police Department confirmed on Oct. 17 that the woman had filed a criminal complaint against the NBA All Star, accusing him of the acts now alleged in the lawsuit that was filed Thursday.
But Adler said the district attorney's office told him late Friday that prosecutors would not pursue charges against Kidd.
The woman's lawsuit asks for unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
Kidd's lawyer, Paul Grand, issued a statement that said, "We have not yet seen the complaint, but these claims were false when they were first fabricated two months ago, and they remain false today. This lawsuit is nothing more than a brazen and defamatory search for a payout."
Grand's spokesman also said prosecutors told him no charges would be filed against Kidd.
Another spokesman for the Nets' guard, Scott Miranda, didn't immediately return a call for comment, but he said in October the accusation was "a complete fabrication" and that it was "sad that someone would make something like this up."
Gary Sussman, Nets vice president for public relations, said Friday the organization had no comment since the claims involve a pending legal matter. Kidd, in the midst of a divorce, has denied his wife's charges that he cheated on her and physically abused her during their 10-year marriage. He claimed in his divorce papers earlier this year that he was the victim of spousal abuse. The couple married in 1997 and were involved in a domestic violence matter six years ago when Kidd was playing for the Phoenix Suns. He pleaded guilty to spousal abuse, was fined $200 and ordered to take anger management training.
