It's the Boomer and Geo podcast from WFAN.

Boomer and Geo, coming alive for the Bill Ford Tough Studio on the fan and CBS Sports Network.

Yeah, we've been talking about it and we brought it up with Jerry as well.

And it really is amazing to me that the Knicks who made so much progress from being the laughing stock of the NBA,

built this thing up, brick by brick, every year getting a little bit better, going from the

first round of the playoffs, then to the second round of the playoffs, then to the Eastern Conference

finals, you know, winning 50 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time and very long.

Getting comparisons to the championship teams of the past and the 90s Nix that were always knocking on the door.

And then they go and do what they've done with the coach with absolutely no plan as to who is going to replace him.

So after all of this, the turnaround, the Knicks being taken seriously,

they're not a laughing stock anymore,

they're a team that can contend for a championship,

have now gone backwards by several steps.

And they're not quite a laughing stock at this point,

but 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 asinine.

So, and I, 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.
