poor guy. Until Dolan steps down, it will continue to be the same Sh*tshow.

Yawn

 

[Good-Knight]

Maybe the best choice they've picked in a while. Young team, X's and O's coach with a straight forward approach, no head games, not big on the dog house.

Thoughts and prayers for that coach...cause it’s the knicks he’s getting...

To quote a fat English king: Who will rid me of this man?

This is a great hire. In 2010.

He wins games. Had a good run with Chicago and they have been a mess since he left and won 47 one year at Minnesota when they haven't done anything in recent years. Not sure why another poster said this was a good hire in 2010, since he has won games since that year.

This is a great stabilizing hire.
He's been under. 500 twice in 8 years as HC.
1st year in Minny (31-51) and the 3rd year in Minny when he was fired after 40 games (19-21).

A guiding principle when reading threads:
College basketball fans (especially on this board) generally have bad to outright terrible insight into NBA topics

Shoulda hired Bulls assistant and still the Shore's alltime leading scorer Chris Fleming. Great guy. He got an interview for the job too.

He may be a good candidate at another time, but I think I would have had the same expression as your avatar if that hire went down.

Woodson had a better record as Knicks coach than anyone Jackson hired. But Jackson was fixated on the triangle, so he fired Woodson.
