FIU names new Coach

[Peruna_Ate_My_Rolex]

He actually had some strong success in talent evaluation through the draft. His first 4 years as an exec. were all spent wioth the Toronto Raptors and his four first round picks were- Damon Staudamire, Marcus Camby, Vince Carter, and Tracy McGrady. Don't really recall who he picked while at Indiana (or maybe he was actually only coach there). With the Knicks he stole David Lee late and had a couple other good pickups as well.

That said, I don't think he will do a great job at FIU. Hopefully he does a better job than Drexler did at UH. That was a train wreck.

Actually, he only had input on the 1st two. He quit the Raptors after his bid to buy them failed miserably. Glen Grunwald actually made those latter picks.

As for Indiana, Larry Bird and Donnie Walsh ran that show, so I doubt he had a lot of input as far as picks go.

As for the Knicks, just remember the name Renaldo Balkman.

i figured it out the reason that he is working for free is none other than the cost to have some of the finest attorneys on retainer for future harassment and other such lawsuits

Damon Staudamire and Marcus Camby never appeared in all-star games. I know GM's miss a lot, but when you always have a lottery pick, you are going to get something out of the draft.

Lets see......
Lousy record
Can't get along with his players
Or management
Sexual harrassment suit
Basically sat out his last year w/ Knicks
Drug problem leading to attempted suicide.

Sounds like someone that we should go after. Huh?

Isiah would get out coached at the YMCA. He is a name but a terrible coach
