I am with you on the first 3. But Greg Anthony is a moron. Instead, it is time to poach a GM from some other team that has a good recent track record - unlike Donnie Walsh who was good once, but obviously on,his last legs before the Knicks hired him.

oohah

Seriously, what has he proven? Absolutely nothing. He has no coaching philosophy that we know of and people just repeatedly want to hire him like sheep.

Forget about Mark Jackson. There are way more qualified ooaches out there.

Yes, being one of the best point guards ever in the history of the game at running a team on the floor for 17 years in the NBA = 0 credentials.

That's all the Knicks need is another coach like D'Antoni, who is loaded with credentials but does not want to work with making the best out of the players he has.

Hey! Do you have an example of a player who made the best out of the team he had on the court for 17 years...?

oohah

How about you start posting something more than sarcastic mumbo jumbo?

He has never coached 1 day in his life.

Isiah Thomas is a hall of fame PG with a championship on teams that played tough defense. Is he a great coach too? Give me a break with this junk.

Hey! I just, you know, want a coach who has actually coached before. Because, you know, that's important.

When I mean credentials, I mean actually coached somewhere, anywhere. As an assistant, in the D-League. Somewhere. Mark Jackson is just an announcer. You have 0 idea about his basketball philosophy. You know nothing about his coaching style. You know about his playing style. That is all.

Guys like Brian Shaw or other top assistants from other teams would be a much better hire than a guy who has proven nothing anywhere as a coach.

Nice try, though, but you fail yet again.

does a 15 years of nba experience doc rivers with no previous coaching experience prior to his head coaching job count? =)

Doc Rivers is not a good coach but nice try anyway.

He's a mediocre coach at best surrounded with great talent. That doesn't make him a great coach.

dude with this statement there is no point wasting time arguing... you have your opinions and so do i.

So you used one example of a guy barely being a good coach with no coaching experience and this is your argument? One guy?

Who else is there? Larry Bird? He was a good coach for the short time he coached.

Isiah Thomas? No.

Who else is there?

Mark Jackson has been interviewing all these years and nobody hired him. Stop making this guy to be a coaching God, please.

Lawrence Frank was hailed as the next best thin at head coach. Where is he now?

Jeff Van Gundy inherited a great Knicks roster that was already house trained by Pat Riley. By the time he got to Houston his star dimmed quickly. In Van Gundy's four seasons with Houston he never went very far in the playoffs Under Van Gundy the Rockets won 182 games and lost 146.

Nate McMillan would be a great coach for these Knicks.

Stephon Curry would make Mark Jackson a better head coach.
