Isiah Thomas Fired as Coach of Knicks

Isiah Thomas was fired as coach of the New York Knicks on Friday after a season of listless and dreadful basketball. There was also a tawdry lawsuit and unending chants from fans demanding Thomas' dismissal. He was the coach for two seasons and will remain with the organization reporting directly to new president Donnie Walsh. This is a rapid fall for Thomas who also was team president a little more than two weeks ago. The Knicks finished 23-59, matching the franchise record for losses, in their seventh straight losing season.
