I think that everybody who is watching this coaching search and watching what has gone on is now saying this reminds me of what the Knicks used to be, which was a rudderless ship with a lot of bad decision making.

And if their plan really was to fire Tom Tibido and then just send out emails to teams with successful head coaches to see if they want to defect is assonine.

So, and I've said before when you have the discussion about if you're going to fire a guy, you know, you better have someone in mind to replace him.

And I agree with that to a certain degree.

There are times, though though where you make a

decision and you say, all right, this guy isn't the right guy for the job of this time. To me,

Tibbs was the right guy for the job of the time. But there are times that you'll say that.

All right, this is not working. We're going to have a full search and find someone better.

Right. Yeah. This is not working. We're going to have full search and see who's the next guy. And that's fine. But to do this with Tibbs, when you're this close to an NBA finals with no plan, it just, it reeks of ugly days past at the garden. Let's say you're the guy that they hire.

And let's welcome Greg Giannati to the stage, the 45th head coach of the New York in the last 10 years.

In the last 10 years.

Hey, Greg, how does it feel to be the seventh pick of the Knicks?

You weren't really their first pick.

They really, really wanted Jason Kidd.

Then they wanted Finch.

Then they wanted Eudoka.

They wanted Steve Kerr.

They couldn't get him.

So now we're going to settle on you.

So how's that feel?

Yeah.

And then also because they haven't spoken about the firing of Tibido, there's going to be a ton of questions about that too.
