Here's an article that might explain a little bit about way the Knicks upper management operates: (http://www.observer.com/2007/life-knicks-hell?page=0%2C0)

The gist of it: they treat their beat reporters like dirt in general, and try to micromanage how the team is presented in the press. It doesn't seem to be working that well.

(off-topic, heavily sarcastic)

Apparently Chris Bosh hurt his groin last night, so Mitchell will really have no choice now but to stop suppressing Bargnani's talents. With Ford hurt too, there aren't many people left keeping him down. I can't wait to see what he can do now.

The title of the thread can be answered in one word:

sucks

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

Agreed. There have been plenty of great GMs and coaches that were once great players, but when you reach the point where you are destroying your legacy and people forget what a great player you were it is time to hang it up.

Isiah was one of my favorite players of all time once. Now I think I might actually want to fight him.

As a Canadian I will give you our best example. Wayne Gretzky is coaching the Phoenix Coyotes and they are brutal. However I am willing to give him a bit of time. If in 3 or 4 years they still suck then he needs to quit and never ever coach again. I would be willing to see him as a GM, but once he has failed as a coach he needs to stop before people forget he was the greatest player to ever play the game.
