DBAHO Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 According to the AP; Wilkens met with team president Isiah Thomas after the loss and indicated he would likely resign as head coach, two sources told The Associated Press. The resignation will likely come Saturday morning when the team holds practice at its suburban New York training facility, said the two NBA sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Expect the Phil Jackson to New York rumors to heat up, too bad he's down here in Melbourne watching the Australian Open Tennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Like i said some where else, it's not like the knicks were gonna fire wilkens. Highly doubt he goes to the knicks, even though there have been plenty of rumors. Just does not seem like a very good fit for him. Anyways, i thought he was taking the year off?

CSF Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Isiah names himself interim coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what came to mind for me, then he can see up close how badly the Knicks suck rather than from a luxury suite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well of course, that's probably what it came down to. He didn't want to end up getting fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 That's too bad, but it probably had to be done. Wouldn't surprise me if that was Lenny's last head coaching job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 22, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) Exactly what came to mind for me, then he can see up close how badly the Knicks suck rather than from a luxury suite. He usually sits by the tunnel where the players go in/out. No way he names himself coach, the team is still going to be brutal if he's the coach and the next head the ax will fall on will be him.
