That kind of stress could lead a man to overdose.

What I love about this story is that the Knicks are in the spot they are in large part because of Isiah. So, in order to increase sucksess, they have asked him to consult. This makes total sense to me.

Knicks-Thomas reunion against NBA rules ... and a horrible idea

The NBA Constitution and By-Laws include very strict prohibitions against team employees having contact with draft-ineligible players –- i.e., high school prospects and college or international players not yet eligible to be drafted. NBA team officials aren't even permitted to utter the names of such players, much less coach them, scout them, or comment about them in press conferences.

Seeing as Thomas is the head basketball coach at Florida International University, it would seem to be elementary that such contact is a daily requirement of his day job. Thus, unless the Knicks can pull a fast one on David Stern –- and good luck with that -– sources say it is highly unlikely that the team's attempt to hire Thomas will pass the smell test, much less the legal one.

Can't believe this - doesn't seem right

Looks like he already has one foot out the door.

This story really makes me appreciate the coach we have in Johnny Jones. Coach Jones always seems like he's in it for the players and understands that it's about making them better basketball players and more importantly better people. On the other hand, Isiah Thomas is in it for himself and is just trying to make it back to the NBA anyway he can.
