Knicks Coach Gets Another Chance

WNYC News | Jul 12, 2010

New York, NY —

Isiah Thomas has apparently improved the Knicks enough that he'll be staying with them as coach as next year.

Knicks owner James Dolan will speak to reporters this morning - he's expected to announce that Thomas will be back next season. Thomas was under the gun to improve the team or else. The Knicks are 29 and 34 and if the season ended today, they would make the playoffs as the 8th seed.

Last season, the Knicks managed just 23 wins under coach Larry Brown.
