When you are a freaking GM, you have to hire a coach that has the same background or philosophy as you. Bill and Isiah were team-mates, and those two really symbolized what a bad boy truly was. He has done an excellent job coaching the WNBA, and one thing is for sure, he is vocal and has enough balls to get in our defenseless stars faces. New York is not a soft city; therefore having a mild mannered or soft spoken individual coaching our team is not what we need. Herb is a good guy, but we need an AHole to deal with our community, media, fans, players, etc.
Lambeer is a disciple of that old Detroit coach (Chuck Daily), and for sure we would have definitely found an identity. We need blue colored workers, players, etc. Isiah is a B.C. GM, we need a coach that believes in what the GM believes in. Lambeer fits that profile...

He's a true Piston.. we don't need him here.. I'm not too fond of Isiah being the g.m and pres as well. He's also a true piston who battled the Knicks through some ugly matchups..

We need someone who has a connection with the Knicks.. Ex. Phil JAckson( probably won't come here)

At least LArry Brown is from NY which would be more than enough to have him coach here.. If not, then HErb is the guy.. A true Knick!!!! give the job to him..

He's a true Piston.. we don't need him here.. I'm not too fond of Isiah being the g.m and pres as well. He's also a true piston who battled the Knicks through some ugly matchups..

not in NY he doesn't...let him prove himself in Atlanta if he wants, or as an assistant in DET...we need PROVEN, ELITE level coaching if we ever want to see a noticeable difference in the way these guys are playing...otherwise, mine as well stick w/Herb because the team is going to be mediocre junk regardless.

Would hiring Flip be a good decision, since we already have Marbury? His schemes supposedly are made for scoring point guards, taking the best out of our best player. What are the pros and cons of hiring him?

Dude! all I have to say is that the man deserves a freaking chance to prove that he can't do the job. Herb was given a chance, but he failed. Herb has been with this administration for quite a while, and he too had a training camp with this squad. We need a hard nose coach like Scott Skyle or Eddie Jordan, from the young crop, to drive this team. Herb should be our last resort, but his association with both Houston and Kurt Thomas in my opinion should disquailfy him.

[bOh, Blue Colar! He was a dirty hard working player, what the phuch does that have to do with his coaching abilty? Give him a chance cuz he manned the both and did a year in the WNBA? Van gundy was an asstistant for years, Frank, also, and he is a wiz kid!

YOu logic points to one candidate, thats HERB! And the Stumpy point we got don't like him!

[Your right, Dido-land is a much nicer place. No need to be accountable, and if you throw out 100 posts daily, some of it sticks.

In Dido-land, all is Spree, and your money here for nothing and the chicks are free......!


Jax to NY, its along shot, but lets put it this way, I'd put my hopes on that than backing Herb for months, then changing my mind on some unproven names of the past hoping they can in a suit superinpose the past. In fact, I'd lay odds they go with Herb again if he can't get phil to buy him time until he gets his roster in better shape.

There is a chance PHil sits another year, or We go with Herb, with Patrick on the sideline, then if Herb sucks, he can hand it to Pat.

But the reality is, Herb will be lame duck even with a 3 year deal.
