Cablevision CEO James Dolan's seats were conspicuously empty last night while the family feud that threatens to tear the company apart played out at a board meeting in Palm Beach County, Fla.

Dolan's father, Charles, threatened his son's position by adding two former Madison Square Garden chairmen, Rand Araskog and James Biondi, to Cablevision's board of directors.

James wants to close Voom, the satellite TV company his father is trying to save. But Knicks coach Herb Williams sounded oblivious to the details of the feud, and he'd just as soon his players paid no attention to it.

Asked how an ownership change might affect the players, Williams said, "There's always change in this league. And there's always going to be talk of change. I think the players and the coach can only be concerned about one thing and that's winning basketball games. If you start getting into other things that are out of your control and you lose focus on what's really important, which is winning games, you're going to be in trouble."

As long as the ownership situation remains stable, it actually might help in Williams' own battle to keep his job beyond this season. High-profile candidates, such as Phil Jackson, Larry Brown and Flip Saunders, need to know what kind of support they can expect from ownership.
