Dawn Staley Asserts 2 Questions Cost Her New York Knicks NBA Job

[RedBull]

Should’ve kept that to herself. Potential teams didn’t need to know

 

[Professor K.]

Dawn Staley worded that 1st question HORRIBLY lmaooo

Basically, she asked them if they ever hired someone who promoted team cohesiveness and unity before?

That's exactly what she said. Basically went on a date and asked if they had ever been in a healthy relationship

 

[UpAndComing]

I understand why the Knicks didn't hire her. They were scared it would be another

 

[Ironman]

I wouldn't have been mad if we hired Dawn

 

[broller]

I ain't been to school in a minute but what was her first question? The second one is easy to parse out in the snippet of the article posted here.

I'm glad im not the only one that was completely confused by that first question. I read it like 5 times and still don't know wtf she meant

I'm glad I wasn't the only one
The interviewer was probably like

I can't knock her for asking the questions. They're also good for someone who's career is golden either way lol. But for the Knicks to say, and I'm paraphrasing, "No, we've never hired a head coach that honestly matched the position requirements and qualifications" is hilarious.

I was gonna skirt right by this thread after reading, I thought for sure I'd be called a retarded Cac for not understanding .

 

[T-K-G]

Press the interviewer for a job you want brehettes she supposed to take the job and let outside journalist press them like that, not do it herself.


No employer is gonna feel comfortable about you hinting that a power struggle may occur if you get the job

 

[Lord Beasley]

I'm confused ASF by her questions. Why did she choose that point to bird babble, costing herself the job??

 

[aceboon]

unless Dawn was gonna completely flip the script on how she coaches offense I don't see how her shyt was gonna translate to today's NBA. even in the interview with AB and Candace she didn't seem to understand how AB is being used as a playmaking hub and not just being posted up 100 times a game

 

[In The Zone '98]

She's ready for the job. But is the organization really ready to support her in that role

The New York Post would go crazy with their headlines. Is everybody truly ready to walk that path

 

[MurderToCassette]

Hit her with the “we’ll be in touch”

 

[The God Poster]

I don’t think they realistically were looking to hire her. She’s giving herself too much credit. A 1st time coach or woman coach failing would be disastrous for them.

This has been the highest expectations they’ve had as a team in decades. The Mikal & KAT trades say they’re all in. It’s the reason they went after an Ime & signed Mike Brown. You just can’t fire Thibs, hire someone with way less credentials at the NBA level & do worse. The fans & media will burn it down lol

 

[ALonelyDad]

Whoever the first woman is should honestly not take a job like that because nothing good will come out of it and people will use it as an excuse to shut that door. Pick a rebuilding team where you can show improvement.
