How many coaches will play kids with their job always on the line? None.
The Knicks owe Zeke $12M. so he's staying in some capacity. Zeke aint a crook like Larry B.

I hope Walsh shows some class and dosn't can him before the all time Pistons great show on Tuesday.. If he does Davison should save face and hire his as a Pistons scout

But if there is a buyout and it's $12 mil, I would take it and go back home and coach high school ball in Chicago. Why does he want to put up with so much negativity from the NY fans and NBA media? Oh yeah, he was a Bad Boy with Pistons DNA

Had he left earlier, he could have possibly replaced Kelvin Sampson at IU

I think Isiah almost has to leave. Give the Organization a fresh start. Isiah gave it his best shot, took a few gambles that did not pay out and thats about it. To hang on as head coach now just does not seem like the best thing to do.

Let him finish out the season and find a new coach.

They'll offer Isiah a job within the organization. That's assuming that Dolan still loves the guy. Isiah should take the offer so that he may collect the rest of his contract. Nobody else will want him at this point, except maybe a Big Ten School............

Isiah is hire-able.

Think so? I kind of like him as a broadcaster. Though I recognize it's a low bar. There are times when he really seems as if he has seen an NBA game before - something I'm not sure about half them have ever done.

Seems like Isiah's draft picks have been OK. Wonder how he'd rate against Joe D? Isiah never woulda gone with that Darko pick. No way. Isiah, being the hard-nosed guy that is, can smell a soft pretzel from miles away.
