NEW YORK - The Knicks have a new president, coach and roster. Now they have a new home for training camp, too.

The Knicks said Friday they have agreed to hold training camp at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs in upstate New York, yet another change under new president Donnie Walsh.

Players will report to training camp Sept. 30 and will work out twice a day. Practices will be closed to the public.
