What do you brehs think about Dawn Staley as the Knicks head coach? They have reached out to her. Good fit or nah?

[RedBull]

He had one of the 20 best players ever to live

You cats kill me with this shyt. Let me guess, the Knicks should bring in Doc, he won right?

Doesn’t matter he won. Kill yourself and Doc.

 

[ISO]

Because he did something Thibs and other candidates didn’t do. Win. That’s why.

Yeah, with an All-Timer which Thibs has never had.

 

[ISO]

I don't see anything in Staley's offensive system that aligns with this era of the NBA

I don’t know shyt about women’s college ball but from the outside looking in it looks very different from the modern NBA.

there are coaches that are caught up but Dawn's system is very old school, bigs establish deep post position and seal and dump it into them and let them either go to work or kick it out to the guards/wings after a double a team. also usually very bland and vanilla guard play.

please hire Mark Jackson

 

[OneManGang]

A woman could never properly manage any men’s league team

Most men can’t even properly manage a men’s teams, why complicate this?

 

[Phantum]

As successful as SC is they play a very old school game. I'm sure she can adapt but she don't need all that stress when they worship her down there.

 

[Illuminatos]

There isn’t a woman’s basketball coach alive that’s qualified to coach this Knicks team.

 

[UpAndComing]

Get this Eddie shyt outta here and hire a good coach who has nba experience east wide open

[Canon]

should have just kept Thibs

this is embarrassing at this point

 

[Unbothered]

I'm not a Knicks fan but, y'know what's been soo funny and mind-boggling about the Knicks head coaching search?

It's the fact that they've deliberately avoided the best candidates (Malone, Vogel, Bud, Monty, Griffin, etc) on the market, then proceed to go after the best head coaches already in secured positions (Finch, Udoka, etc) knowing those teams weren't ever going to give you permission, but also have sought after decent yet very mediocre coaches (Jenkins, Brown, etc).

Now they've made a pitch after arguably the best coach in women's college basketball, knowing dayum well they're not going to hire her due to the optics/dynamics of a woman coaching an all-mens team, plus I doubt she'd leave South Carolina.

It's like the Knicks aren't serious, I'm not sure what they're trying to do here. If this is the case they probably should've kept Thibs.

 

[Theo Penn]

No. Bring her ass to the Chicago Sky.

Why aren’t the Knicks considering Mike Malone?

Because Mike Malone is another Thibs.

 

[Unbothered]

Because Mike Malone is another Thibs.

In theory, to a certain extent, he might be, but in reality, he's clearly a better coach than Thibs with enough of his own style that'd separate the two of them.

I don't think anyone would struggle choosing between Thibs and Malone.

It's not even close.

But a huge point of contention for Knicks ownership and fans was that the bench players needed to be played. If that was such a huge sticking point, you don’t go after Thibs because he refused to give bench players minutes
