I agree he should have been fired, but Wilkins??

The Knicks need a good young coach.

it's kinda funny how before you said, "but fratello?"
Now when you find out it's not fratello you change it to "but wilkins?"

before anyone puts words in my mouth, let me say, i agree with you and i'm not dissing you, it's just funny.

Yea, my idiotic source in Houston told me it was Fratello. Boy were they wrong.

I think wilkins will make them competitive in the east (which is like legless man in an asskickin contest).

Even with Marbury I dont think they have enough talent to win, no matter who the coach is. In the NBA more than any other league the players make the coaches look good more than coaches making the players look good.

Pat Riley was a great coach in LA with Magic and Kareem but he couldnt really do much without any talent in Miami.

Lenny has never really done anything as a coach. I know he won a title with Seattle in the 70s, but he had great talent in Cleveland (Price, Nance, Daugherty, etc) in the 80s and couldn't get past the 2nd round. He had good talent with the Hawks in the 90s and could never get past the 1st round. He may be the all-time winningest coach, but he's also the all-time losingest coach. I don't see the Knicks going anywhere this year.

Apparently my sources were not wrong. Despite Fratello saying otherwise today, I was just told the job was his.... for just over one hour. He apparently forgot to read the "fine print" that comes with being coach of the Knicks under Thomas. He was outraged at the lack of say he had in the organization and pulled out.
