I agree with him. I want JVG. I'll even take Action Jackson if he brings JVG with him.

personally hoping we avoid Jackson and JVG. Former wasn't that good with a stacked GS team (+16 games just by a coach change) and the latter is a quitter

Both would be refreshing in a radical way that would insulate Dolan and the FO from the inevitable fallout.

And by the time the change comes this year will be over. Otherwise, Fizdale continues to limp along.

Mark Jackson would be a huge mistake. Another talker with a bad history.

In fact, let me double down on Miller or Hammond. If its true that Dolan is dissatisfied with Perry and Mills then its in their best interest to make a splash with the next coach. The effect you would be looking for is a NY sensation. What better way to do that than the first female NBA head coach?

OR, just as good, arch-villain, Reggie Miller who can hold his own with everything NY can dish out riding in to save the day. The MSM will love/hate it in daily headlines. Its all entertainment, baby and tickets would skyrocket.

Every good coaching staff has top rated assistant, every coach on Fiz staff (with the exception of mike miller) were horrible in their previous jobs and were all fired from multiple jobs, especially Keith smart who was fired 3x.

Why would you even consider reggie miller(another in experience person), who hasn't even coached JHS basketball, becky is cool, but she's not ready.

Appeasements never work out well. That is what Perry was after Phil. And now you want to do the same sorry but this time Dolan and his cronies need to do their homework and please no wacky half baked plans.

I don't think its wacky.

Its certainly unconventional, I'll grant you that. But examine the facts.

If Fizdale is fired it means the record is like 4-16 in a week or two. AND, this media firestorm will go Nova from a hot seat to a runaway dumpster fire.

Even if Mills and Perry are not now feeling the heat personally, they will be the longer this process is drawn out.

So they need a new point of interest and that can't be a wimpy, "Have patience... yada yada... here's a safe new coach with no personality inheriting a bonfire without a sprinkler system."

They need to make a splash, a big one.

So what's in it for Dolan. He doesn't mind the FO per se but KNOWS that Fizdale isn't working. Secondly, the Knicks need fans and they need headlines - good, bad, indifferent is of no consequence.

Hire a Hammond and he suddenly looks like a progressive reformer. Women start buying tickets, ESPN STFU, and so on. Everyone forgets about the FO, Dolan, and the season was shot anyway...

Or hire Reggie Miller. He's going to talk his way into the headlines, the team WILL WIN, the Knicks will be on the national sports chains A LOT. The NY Sports media will salivate and papers WILL SELL.

In both cases, Dolan says to any potential buyer to add an additional B to the current value of the team.

Questions?

but understanding NY has nothing to do with success here

being better than is all that matters

He sure was. That and they also called his stupid flying thing after a layup the helicopter.

I thought the helicopter was his 360 one handed dunk?

What? He can dunk?
