I can't see how they keep him as president. Womens rights groups cannot permit him to continue. He might be a liability anyway by keeping as president.

Advertisers would be pressured to boycott if he was held.

Even exending to his role as coach might be questioned as being in bad taste.

The advertisers and those whom buy suites and tickets with Corporate money might not see Isiah as a good symbol for entertaining clients and employees.

The man found guilty of harrassment and obviously a jury did not believe him was also accused of saying he did not give a dam about "white ticket holders"! Might not have said it, but he is not credible.

He also said it was ok in some form to call a women a bitch.

Granted this may be a bit sensitive but we talking about not men, not basketball players, but the general public and Women ticketholders. Did anybody at MSG figure into this?

Nalod thinks dolan gave the extension as a loyalty bonus and a way to pay Isiah if they lost the trail.

Six coaches in 3.5 years.

dolan is predictable in his unpredictability...who knows what's gonna happen...

the stupid thing is that Dolan gave Isiah an extension knowing full well the details of all of this trial.

gave him an extension. allowed him to trade for zach and his $63 mil. allowed him to make a trade WHILE the jury was deliberating.

papabear can sleep well tonight knowing isiah is here to stay for a couple of years...at least...POPCORN POWER!!!

Isiah can survive this by winning. One thing I think we dont take into account, is we are special kinds of fanatics. Some are ticketholders, some are not, but we obsess over every little detail involved in this franchise. There are many season ticket holders, who, while bothered by some of Isiah's remarks, are going to easily forgive him if the knicks come out kicking arse. I dont expect women's groups to protest him or anything like that, ABS may have won the case, but she was not terribly credible either.

But this is the beauty of this whole thing from a fan's perspective, Isiah has to win, the knicks have to play well.
There is going to be very little tolerance for losing amidst all of this other drama. If we ssuck now, with the talent we have and the bad taste left from this trial, Isiah ought to be, and I believe, will be gone. I'm hoping this turns into winning season, because Isiah will be under a tremendous amount of pressure this season.

I agree

All that drama Isiah and Dolan put LB thru by not releasing him earlier knowing they were gonna fire him. Embarrassing him by keeping him in the dark about his future , even allowing him to think he would be running training camp.

Having Chaney escorted from MSG by security and treating a HOF coach Lenny Wilkens like he came from the a ABL league.

Some call it Karma , some call it Fate, but IMHO the chickens have come ROOST !

Isiah I thought I knew you better than that!

Dolan wont fire him over this. Dolan thinks he was being extorted.

Isiah will have to make the playoffs this year though

Talentwise there is absolutely no reason for this team not to make the playoffs
