Speaking on Sirius XM radio Wednesday afternoon, Thomas said, “I want to say this about Coach Woodson: It’s been talked a lot about just how the next coach will come on. I think Phil is going to be pleasantly surprised when he sits down and has a conversation with Mike Woodson about his understanding of basketball and his understanding of implementing a triangle, if that’s what he wants implemented, and understanding the system and style of play.

Here's how it happened:


Back in 2004, Thomas, then the Knicks' president, reached out to Jackson about possibly coaching the team. Jackson then asked Thomas about his relationship with Dolan because the coach had heard so many negative stories about the owner.

"He was enthusiastic about the basketball program and he was enthusiastic about the owner," Jackson said Wednesday. "I checked that against the other things you hear in the press and the naysayers that talk a little bit about the Knicks. ... So I went in [to his recent negotiations with Dolan] with an open mind."

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 hope loyalty doesn't come into play here

Yea Woodson can learn the triangle?

He is still going to screw up everything else

Woodson is a nice man

A bunch of the things Phil stressed yesterday (ball movement, cuts, general off ball movement, team ball, a system) are things Woodson hasn't really done
Knicksfan: Hypocrite league that fines players after the game for flopping but in the game and with obvious flopping they call the fouls.

Maybe Phil brings in an " offensive" coach to sit on the bench and eventually takeover. Kinda like when Woods on was brought in to handle the defense when 'stache was still coach.

It's been a long time since Woody has actually used MDA's system here and even when he did it was a very basic and watered down version. I think the best Woody could hope for is to get an assistant who can coach offense much like Tex did for Phil. Woody needs that help like MDA needed a defensive assistant. That's the only way I see this working with Woody staying as coach. That said I think Phil would prefer having Kerr in place instead.

All it takes is a few new acquisitions and Woodson will be completely completely thrown off again

Me too!

If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.
