BREAKING: It is officially over.

What better way to kick off the P&T 2.0 era than with this expected but refreshing news...

New Knicks president Donnie Walsh began his remodeling of the franchise Friday by announcing that Thomas has been removed as coach but would remain with the organization. "He will have no official title, but he will provide meaningful input," Walsh said during a conference call. "Isiah remaining a part of the franchise is important for the organization."

I don't care if he sticks with the team, as long as I don't have to see his blank expression on the sideline anymore. This is a big step, everybody. The speculation for his successor will now begin in earnest. Surely you've heard of Mark Jackson quitting on air last night, making him an early front-runner for the vacancy. I doubt this is going to happen quickly, though. We're only at the beginning.

Finally

Has Mark Jackson coached before at any level as a head coach?

by HoyandKnicksfan on Apr 18, 2008 7:02 PM EDT reply actions  

no

but neither had zeke before he got the indy job. Or Doc Rivers before the Orlando. Jackson played, he knows how it works.

They should have gotten rid of him completely

If Walsh truly wants to turn this organization around, that should have been Isiah’s fate. It would have been the best possible message of hope and accountability to the fans. Still, I’m happy we at least won’t have to look at or hear from him much anymore. Good riddance.

Dolan

probably forced this, trying get some ROI for the 18 million he owes Zeke. Him scouting or something and out of power is good enough.

by DoctorK16 on Apr 19, 2008 12:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

If there is a God...

He’ll make sure we land Derrick Rose in the draft.

retire 17
