http://theknicksblog.com/knicks/knicks-owner-james-dolan-says-anucha-browne-sanders-made-up-a-bunch-of-isiah-thomas-allegations/
In an interview with HBO set to air Tuesday on ‘Real Sports,” Knicks owner James Dolan says he believes Anucha Browne Sanders made up “a bunch” of her sexual harassment allegations against Isiah Thomas in 2007. “I think a bunch of it she did, yes,” Dolan said. In a two-minute clip teasing the piece, Thomas was read part of the complaint by Bryant Gumbel which indicates that Thomas sexually harassed Browne Sanders and called her a “bitch” and a “ho.” “Never happened,” an uncomfortable looking Thomas tells Gumbel. Dolan, who was also sued by Browne Sanders, said he decided not to settle for a few hundred thousand dollars because “the fighter in me came out.” “I’m not going to settle because that’s an admission of guilt and we’re not guilty,” Dolan added. Thomas was ultimately found liable for harassment and Dolan cut her a check for $11.5 million. Dolan then raised more than a few eyebrows when he re-hired Thomas to run the WNBA’s New York Liberty. Told that that was considered a slap in the face of the Liberty’s fans, Thomas said, “We totally understood that, got it, accepted it. And not only accepted it, but respected their thoughts, their feelings around this issue.” Dolan was crushed by the media, called “tone deaf,” “repugnant” and more. “Terrible, what do you want me to say about it?” Dolan asked. “It’s worse than I imagined.” Meantime, many around the Knicks speculate that Thomas could ultimately replace Knicks President Phil Jackson when he rides off into the sunset in the next few years despite Thomas’ previous failed tenure running the Knicks. Asked to grade himself for that tenure, Thomas said, “Maybe a C- to a D.” “Isiah’s a guy who doesn’t believe in his limitations and I’m a guy who doesn’t believe in his limitations,” Dolan said of the similarities between the two men. Thomas doesn’t deny that he would like to get back into the NBA at some point. “I’m going to do the best job that I possibly can do here and that’s it,” he said in May. “You never know where you’re going to end up.” so here is what phil is thinking ....

This is the important part to me: Dolan said Isiah would not be hired back to the Knicks again in any capacity. Not shockingly HBO edited this part out.
“Can you envision any scenario where Isiah makes it back to the Knicks?” Bryant Gumbel asks. http://nypost.com/2015/10/20/edited-out-james-dolan-vow-would-not-hire-isiah-back-to-knicks/ ¿ △ ?

It will be a line of other NBA teams to get this "great" man to lead the organization... "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet
