Nydailynes.com- "When he was coaching the Suns three years ago, D'Antoni rejected the idea of adding Thibodeau to his staff when it was suggested to him by Phoenix GM Steve Kerr. Thibodeau eventually landed with the Celtics, who won the title that season. Historically, Walsh allows his coach to pick his staff but he may take a more active role this summer in light of the Knicks being one of the NBA's worst defensive teams during D'Antoni's two seasons"
Hiring a Defensive coach is bigger than any FA we could get!
A few end of the season tidbits...
1. At the start (this season) D'Antoni said he thinks we could be a PO team- why is everyone saying "who thought we could make the PO's"?
2. Supporters say "he's one of the best HC's"- "he avg. 50+ wins in PHX"- an argument for Byron Scott who didn't win as much (see career stats) actually made it further than D'Antoni can be made using this approachm can't it?
3. Whoever said "you can't RATE a coach until he has star player"? WTF is this? Now a coaches rating is only justified w/ star players?
4. Is this a oxymoron? "Lee is an all-star, leader, and Gallo is a up-and-comer, beast, best shooter"- but we have no team?
I ask these ?'s b/c this is the normal back and forth we're having. Add the (unvarifiable argument) "no coach could have done better" theoretical assertion and supporters feel this is viable.
Well the honeymoon is over. If the communication issues, rotation issues, in-game management, unproven philosophy, lack of development, lack of defensive planning and spin doctoring weren't enough, then there's nothing that will convince you- to that there is no arguing. I'll just say everyone including his former players must not know anything compared to you.
But if/when the Knicks improve the roster, hire a defensive coach, etc... leads to failure then what?
