However you tried to compare the 2 things and they are simply not the same thing. I hope that clears it up for you.

Is that something you just made up? Because I don't remember reading or hearing that anywhere.

I didn't make it up. It's a fact. Why is he announcing instead of coaching?

If that's a fact, then F mark jackson.

c'mon man

Where's your evidence?

but he starphucked...just like isiah tried to put players in positions they shouldn't be in, walsh brought in a coach that isn't known for developing young players...

"Don't get me wrong I understand it, but my feeling, Mike should be [named] vice president of basketball and let him coach the practices and give the losses to someone else," said George Karl, who shares the same agent with D'Antoni, Warren LeGarie.

Let him coach the practices and give the losses to someone else?

sheesh

he did go unprecendented, and it was necessary to save this franchise.

they way dolan throws cash around, signing mda was a good choice too because, while these 2 years were/are difficult, it will pay off in the last 3 of mda's contract.

playing it beautifully so far.

we should note that the biggest problems on this team are curry and jeffrie's contracts. these are by far the biggest problems. and these are not donnie's doing.

so give me a break djsunyc.

the biggest problem is Mike is a fraud and Walsh whiffed at the draft

MisterEarl how is this different from you telling us what Mark Jackson would have doen as head coach? Exactly how many games did you see him coaching in the NBA? Crystal Ball time again? At least JrZyHustla didn't start a thread with his claim.

I do believe MJ would have had a little better success with duhon then MDA, simple because of there career's as players, But this is a argumentitve theory all day.

Q. loweyecue - how is this different from you telling us what Mark Jackson would have (done) as head coach?

A. the (huge) difference is I am speaking for myself.

Not EVER to be confused with speaking for someone else.

In MY OPINION, Mark Jackson would have yanked Chris Duhon by now. I base that OPINION on the feisty and determined playing personality of Mark Jackson as a lead guard, how Jackson understands how essential leadership is in setting the tempo and how shooting 22 percent is never acceptable, whether you are "captain" or not.

We saw how THAT worked out with Isiah, didn't we?

kam77 - possibly.

Based on the evidence, Mark Jackson could be perfectly happy in the broadcast booth. Upon further review of the video tape, Jackson was never interviewed by the Knicks or even mentioned by any Knicks official as being considered for the job of head or assistant coach. Those smarmy NYC gossip reporters had nothing else to speculate about.

I wonder what the press reaction would be to either Mark Jackson or Phil Jackson leading the Knicks to a 3-13 record... and then what adjustments either would make in seven seconds or less.
