If this new hire doesn't happen it shows how much more Zeke is wilding as a GM, HIS LACK OF RESPECT DOESN'T REPRESENT THE KNICKS ORGANIZATION. This thing is getting out of control, we make fun of Layden of being in denial and not talking to press, but Zeke goes on talk shows to promote himself and doesn't say either way yea or nay with Chaney being axed.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

I think maybe they just want to make Chaney think he's still the coach so that he can coach tonight. If tommorrow comes and Fratello is our new coach then I'll be more than happy. If it's Pat Riley, Chuck Daly then I'll be estatic but I highly doubt that. Unless we get Doc, but I'm not sure if he's better than Fratello. Just look at Fratello record. I hope it's not a no name guy after getting my hopes up with Fratello.
Why wouldn't they just let Brendan Malone coach tonight if they are gonna fire him. Zeke is truly making a mess of this he could squash a lot of this drama.

There will be a 5:45 press conference. Chaney will be fired. Malone will be coach tonight. Contractual problems with Fratello. Someone else will coach Friday. Per WFAN.

It's not Fratello just yet I hope at the end of the day he's our coach unless we get a bigger name. I do not want Isiah to be both coach and GM it's a recipe for disaster

The preconference is comming up on wfan. I'm glad it isn't Isiah or Mark Aguire
Lenny Wilkins! damn that's even better!! I didn't even think about him. I think he really fits this team and he will be respected by the players. I can't wait man. The Knicks are back!!
Herb Williams is coaching tonight!
Chaney, malone and kruger out!
