Larry & Isiah
As mentioned yesterday, Larry Brown may be out as the Knicks head coach.
Some thoughts:
Larry wasn't a right fit for the team anyway. He prefers point guards who set up their teammates, players who defend and rebound with passion, and very few flashy moves. In other words, not exactly the kind of coach you want running the one of the NBA's most popular teams.
There's no doubt in my mind that Isiah Thomas wanted to coach again. I just didn't think he'd sabotage yet another franchise (see Toronto Raptors, the CBA and the Indiana Pacers).
What the Knicks really need is to be blown up. This lame-ass rebuilding has gotten them nowhere and quite frankly I'm tired of my roommate's (a diehard Knicks fan) constant complaining. Trade away the headcases and redundant players and draft some real talent. Come clean to your fans (we will suck for three years, but we'll be better after that). You can't afford to do what Chicago did after the Jordan-Pippen Era. You just can't.
Even though Larry could end up in Sacramento or Golden State, he should retire. Take a season or two off from coaching and be a commentator for awhile. Who knows; he might start to like it.
