"Carmelo Anthony may need assist from James Dolan on next Knicks coach"
This is fueling the no patience environment where frustrated fans want to be satisfied NOW. Sorry if Im stepping on anyones toes here. Its ignorant.
Buying the past results was how we used to do things over and over again.
Dolan delegated to Phil whom we all expect great things from, but the question nobody knows is when. The dude tore it down, that is a big change.
He has a philosophy that is not easy to implement but is easy to be critical of. Dolan can't buy Phil's coaching record and many of you want phil to coach. SAS wants phil to coach. SAS says PHil has never been president before so he insinuates failure.
If you believe in Chuckbuck over Phil, then I'd say your desire to win is like most of us, we all want to win, but the process by which you think it can happen is not realistic.
Change takes time. The process takes time. How the next coach should be picked should not be based on getting a nice respected name but one that fits within the process of culture and the system.
IN time it would best that the process PROMOTES those already in the system. This is why the Spurs have done well. Those who excel are hired by others. Larry Brown started the Popovitch tree. Pop was a very unlikey candidate on paper given his lack of starphuch history. We started our own tree with a man who knows winning and has the cred to evolve into a very good president that by installing
Rambis IF HE IS THE MAN is being promoted from within. The problem we all have is the culture HERE has not produced results yet so many of us don't have the confidence. Phil has the cred, but some of us doubt him as he has not been a team president.
That might be valid, but its a work in process. To stop now and go back to starphuching name by name without a master plan will only get us back to where we have been since the day Checketts walked out the door, and that's in the hands of Dolan.
For Isola, who hates Dolan to publish this noise means he likes his ratings more than substance.
