Not as the coach, but he will stay with the organization and answer only to Donnie Walsh!
I wanted this guy kicked out of MSG, literally thrown out onto the street! :furious:
They are retarded. They owe him so much money that they had to keep him on. He should be the ambassador of the Knicks in Greenwich Village, that is about it.
I was for him getting removed completely. Rid the Garden of his influence completely, spray that bitch out with Glade (powder fresh, of course) and start new. Him staying on, most likely to do nothing, just shows how loyal Dolan is to him. Because instead of paying him the $18M to not have a real position and report directly to Walsh (for what?) and risking him meddling or trying to undermine people to improve his standing, they'd have been better off agreeing to a buyout. It ain't like Dolan hasn't spent millions to throw dirt on Isiah's dookie before. But since he's there, I wouldn't completely be against them using him as a talent scout. He knows how to draft talented players. Let him evaluate the skills and leave it to others to judge character and guage whether or not the prospect is a fit.
Or, f*ck it, put him in the public relations department.
Donnie Walsh and Dolan love him, that's the bottom line.
