Ewing was never a smart player and could never make the players around him better. I think he would be a horrible coach.

...a creative way to still get his ring in NY. It couln't hurt. He's a Knick for life.

It's a better idea than these imbeciles saying we sign starks for a million or two.

Starks would make a good coach too. He has that fire that could empower a team (especially the Knicks). He can be Allan Houston's Heart Hardening coach.

At the same time knicksbb10 saying that Starks is a “bonehead, and a disease on offense”, clearly means that you’re the one with the disease…Alzheimer's. (nwny)

nwny, It seems to me that you just developed amnesia from the ridiculous statement you've made on starks.. Look, i know there's alot of John Starks fans out there but clearly he had no talent whatever. All he had was heart and grit but was clearly a bonehead... I don't know what knick games from the past you were watching but starks clearly cost the knicks somes games over his career. ALL I NEED TO SAY IS 2FOR18, period!!! Game 7 NBA FINALS, remember?? I don't want to hear stupid excuses "It was riley fault" cause riley nor ewing didn't shoot the ball 18times with 2field goals... Oh, by the way, i'm sure you starks fans remember when he purposely headbutted Reggie Miller and was immediately ejected with Ewing shouting at him "What the ---- you're doing" Knicks did lose that game and don't forget Reggie's infamous 2 three-pointers within 8sec. in the semi-divisional playoff game. Afterwards, knicks still had a chance to tie the game but with Starks on the free throw line, HE CHOKED missing both free throws. I won't complain about his defense but offensively he wasn't there. He chucks too. Everytime he would get the rebound, he would ran on the three point line while no one was present for the rebound and just throw it up.. Starks wasn't smart of the ofense side. How many times players or coaches had to either cool him down or tell it like it is.
Riley, Van GUndy, Ewing or even Oakley had hard times straigtening Starks based on his erratic behavior and performance on the court.
Look at the stats between Starks and Houston when it counts!! Houston is averaging 19.3pts,45% field goal pct in the playoffs and makes his free throws during critical moments by averaging nearly 90%.. Bonehead Starks on the other hand averages 14pts shooting 40% field goal pct and a bad 74% free throwing shooting. No wonder why he chokes when it really matters... Hey, houston is a bit passive but one thing for sure he hasn't cost the knicks any playoff games with bonehead decisions..

Starks must have done something really bad to you, man. This is a discussion about whether Starks would make a good coach. I say no, some people in the forum say yes, and you say??? Well who knows what you say, you decided you would list every thing Starks did that made you unhappy. Stay focused.
