Thomas Sacked as Knicks Coach

Donnie Walsh, the New York Knicks' new team president, fired Isiah Thomas as the team's head coach, capping a franchise record-tying 59-loss season. Thomas was retained for an unspecified role in the organization.

I can't believe Thomas is still with the Knicks at all. He should've never been hired. He ran the Continental Basketball Association into the ground, and now he's done it with the Knicks, a team I occasionally rooted for before his disastrous, ill-fated tenure as both president and coach.

I knew from the beginning he was a bad hire.

This Knicks/Thomas combination ranks with Britney Spears' marriage to Kevin Federline, Whitney Houston's marriage to Bobby Brown and Sears' merger with K-Mart.

America Online and Time Warner fared better.

I mean, wasn't the CBA fiasco impressive enough? One has to wonder if the Knicks organization even noticed it. How in hot fiery Hades did that slip past their radar? Hello! Thomas bankrupted an entire basketball league! My, my, what does that say? It definitely says that he is not NBA team president material. Apparently, he's not such a great coach either. He was never a world beater when he coached the Pacers, and he did even worse with the Knicks.

And even after an embarrassing and sordid sexual harassment trial, the Knicks retain him. I would not make a decision like that. Thomas should be out of the Knicks organization completely. Start fresh.
