Off hand, I don't know of any big names out there. I do remember an article about a month ago stating that the assistant coaches wanted to open up the offense. Could be a good chance for Mike or Don.

Thoughts on the next coach?

How about Mike Dunleavy?

He is a New Yorker, is he not?

I think Don Chaney should get a chance to coach, maybe for the remainder of the season.

I agree and for now it looks like that is the way they will go.

I think Chaney should remain @ Head Coach. All the players know him and his system because it's so similar to Van Gundy's, and I also heard he wants to make it a 9-man rotation, which I think will help develop Lavor Postell.

I don't think a 9 man rotation will include Postell. Rather..

1.Jax
2.Ward or Eisley
3.Houston
4.Spree
5.Anderson
6.KT
7.Spoon
8.Othella
9.Camby

I think he oughtta include Knight and Postell in there.

Anyways, Chaney should coach the remainder of this season untill we get a new GM. The new GM should determine what coach will be our head coach. I don't really trust any of Layden's decisions.

I think Chaney deserves a chance. If the Knicks do well this year, I think he should be considered for the permanent position. I like his attitude and demeanor. Not to knock JVG, but its sort of a refreshing change. Maybe the players will respond well to him as head coach.
