Not exactly a basketball Mecca.

Not saying Phil has any desire to coach the Knicks, but he would have said “no interest” regardless of weather he wanted to coach them or not. It is the right thing to do.

That leaves only “restoring the Knick tradition”, and I just don’t think that dog will hunt……Like all basketball fans, Phil knows the heady days of Willis, Clyde & the gang are long gone, and basketball in New York is more about money and ego than true round ball…..

Woodson has done a decent job with this group. Re-tool over the summer and see what he can do.

Lets see . . . . . . . his starting PG is out. As is his starting SG and his starting PF. And just in case that wasn’t bad enough, his starting center has the flu. Exactly what “game plan” would be successful against Miami in that situation? Jax does not want to travel for 41 road games and the playoffs. Spend the money on a coach that does. Woody has done a great job with what little time he’s had, and the Knicks should sign him today.

If he doesn’t want to travel to regular season road games, hire Brian Shaw as his assistant to take care of that. If Phil declines, then you go after Jerry Sloan or even Brian Shaw. But please do not bring in Calipari! Most importantly keep Isiah Thomas far away from this organization!

Everywhere he’s been succesful, his team has been more talented than 99% of the teams he plays. Unless you’re Erik Spoelstra, that’s not how the NBA works.

I don’t think he’ll do it either, but I didn’t think Nick Saban would be the coach of Alabama. Coaches say things they think they mean all the time only to change their minds.

He’s only said 1000 times that he’s not interested.
