Indiana has a pretty good college basketball tradition. You got Hoosiers. You got Bob Knight. This year, you had Eric Gordon and a team that was really, really good when they had their sneaky, cheating coach. Without that coach, Indiana is now looking for a new man to run their team: And Isiah Thomas insists they haven’t contacted him.
“No, I have a job,” Thomas said before the Knicks played the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.
“Of all the former players, he’d definitely have the support of mine and others. I hope he’s someone they do name as the coach of Indiana.”
It’s hard for me to imagine Indiana reaching out to Isiah Thomas. For those that haven’t noticed, he’s kind of wrecked the Knicks, has been involved in lawsuits, and is the laughingstock of the NBA. And watching to see if Isiah’s recruiting is as bad as his management, well, it’d be fun for everyone, unless, of course, you’re a Hoosier.
