LA lakers coach d'antoni resigns

Mike D'Antoni has resigned as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, ending an unhappy two-season tenure with the struggling NBA franchise.

The 62-year-old still had a year to run on his $12 million three-year contract but the team announced on Tuesday he had decided to step down.

D'Antoni joined the Lakers in November, 2012 after Mike Brown was fired following just 71 games in charge. Under D'Antoni's guidance, the Lakers compiled a 67-87 record.
