what i would say in isiah is that he doesnt understand what he needs to do as a Gm or as a coach.

as a coach there wasnt even any development of young players, he even drafted a no name rodman wanna be wherein he got criticized and now has a potential imagine on games he can get double digits on rebs and points. but he doesnt develop the young guys . . . imagine players like david lee who still now comes off the bench infavor of zach and eddy curry.

he just like to have the big names thats why their salary cap issue was sky high. he doesnt have the confidence of offering no name guys wherein he should develop just ( in what he thinks ) in favor of hoping those big names = attendance.

plus the owner dolan thinks with all the attention his isiah is getting benefits the knicks of the attention and being talk about.

As a Gm, he doesnt know what talent is. he thinks players with bloated salary are the epitome of winning games and attendance. we all know the portland then. imagine offering that wizard player that kind of contract. . . .

larry bird as i would say doesnt coaches much in his time, he was lucky to have a coach then whom he hired when he became president and was also a reason why detroit became a hot team.

this is my own opinion.

Pat ewing for ny knicks Manager !!!

lol...Ewing...lol

Well I suppose he couldn't any worse.

ewing is a legend
and i bet he would do much better :P

What does being a legend have to do with it? Legendary players have failed as coaches before and legendary players will fail as coaches again.

He isn't anywhere near as legendary as Magic was. How did Magic's coaching career pan out?

While it is possible that he could become a credible coach there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to think that he is a good candidate.

Saying he would do better than Isiah is not a compliment either. I have a 3 year old daughter who I feel confident could do a better job that Isiah has.

god bless the benefit of the doubt till you dont put him there you dont know if he gonna do well or bad, dont you think?

still i think jeff should back :) he gave the knicks the best years

Why would you assume in any way that someone deserves the benefit of the doubt just because he was a good player?

You don't just give someone a head coaching job in the NBA, no matter how good they were as players. Even if you are the Knicks.

| agree that being a good player doesn't mean a guy deserves a coaching job, but I also believe anybody deserves the benefit of the doubt. It's like me, I never played baseball in my whole life, but I like to tell myself that "who knows, maybe that was my calling after all.." hahahahahaha

Anyway guys, don't worry, my Knicks will find somebody.. I hope...

yea like raonne say anyone deserve it :) just for that i say it

if they dont just give someone a head coaching in the nba , why thomas is a dt? :D

but not big deal

a lot of players think by being good or having a name in the nba can stir or do a coaching job!

i mean they can be good coaches but usually its not!

it depends on how much basketball IQ they have! a coach isnt just about shouting of calling plays but you have to be fast and quick witted in deciding what plays to call down the stretch of a game.

knowing which players to play, given the talent you have against another team. especially on a weaker note. remember you dont get much glory as a coach compare as a player.

its hard work, analyzing plays, building plays , what training to do for players which the assistant coaches will do!, number of hours watching games on recorded video. etc!
