Isiah Thomas forced to end NBA/NCAA quest

Isiah Thomas/File

Sorry, this is still funny to a lot of us. Isiah Thomas' quest to become the 1st person to coach an NCAA Basketball team and be an NBA Team Consultant at the same time...is over.

Sure, we know it violated the NBA's bylaws and could potentially violate all kinds of tampering rules on three different levels, but the Knicks would have known that before they made it public...wouldn't they?

Nobody yet understands Knicks owner/saboteur James Dolan's reason for constantly pursuing Thomas to work for him. The 5-plus year tailspin they've been on started under Thomas' watch and is something they've yet to be able to dig out from.

Don't be surprised if the Thomas/Dolan marriage is consummated again in the very near future. We suspect that once this years NCAA season is over at Florida International, Thomas will probably resign to take a job with the Knicks. We could be wrong about that, but we don't think so.

In the meantime, enjoy the talented Ryan Parker singing about Mr. Thomas. Thanks ryanparkersongs.com and YouTube:

Isiah Thomas and the Knicks...Made for each other?

We didn't touch on this subject when the story broke a couple of days ago. When the New York Knicks...or more specifically their owner Jim Dolan announced that his buddy and former coach, Isiah Thomas was coming back...as a "Special Consultant".

Needless to say, this really hasn't gone over particularly well....with pretty much anyone. Folks in New York are befuddled. The rest of the NBA is sort of laughing.

In our search for news this monday morning, we came across a featured section on the New York Daily News website...that...well, just grabbed our attention. The called it "New Reign of Error". A conglomeration of stories, basically slamming the premise of Isiah the College Coach and NBA Consultant.

Or more specifically, read the entire section...it's pretty impressive....RIGHT HERE

We haven't decided who we feel more empathy for...GM Donnie Walsh or high-priced free agent signee Amare' Stoudamire, who we are guessing, saw the amount of money he was about to be paid and jumped...not realizing what he was getting into.

Either way, it should be fun times. The Knicks should be somewhat improved over last year, but still not very good. And that doesn't look like it will be changing any time soon.

The league is now looking into the Isiah arrangement. Nobody is really sure how you can be the coach of an NCAA team and work for a pro team...at the same time. But hey, maybe Dolan and Thomas are smarter than everyone else. Stranger things have......nahh!

Here is some video of the 2010 Knicks...in a fight. Thanks YouTube:
