Do you laugh at the ex-NBA coach who has taken over a basketball program in the Sunbelt Confernce coming off of a 13-win campaign?
I think it'd be fair to laugh at that guy. But, you probably should have a heartier chuckle at the expense of the FIU Athletic Director, Pete Garcia.
Who's laughing now? Probably still Thomas.
No one will second-guess Thomas as a player...and FIU's site makes sure you don't forget that he was a good one...That said, his resume as a leader-of-men is horrible.
He bankrupted the CBA a year and one-half after purchasing the second-tier pro basketball league.
He took the Indiana Pacers from a good team...and made them into a mediocre squad. And the personnel moves he requested while at the helm, later made a once-proud franchise, with a good following, into a malcontent-infested cesspool of gangsters with no fans.
And his time with the Knicks? Genus, sheer genius.
Who knows what Isiah's vision for FIU basketball is...But I'm sure it includes marijuana, sexually harassing members of the athletic department and spending waaaaaay too much money. In other words, championship!
Pete Garcia- congrats on a job well done. Hats off to you for making an excellent career move.

I was really hoping this was going to be Indiana's hire last year. That would be nonstop hilarity.
Isaiah Thomas is an awful coach. he had one play with the Pacers: pass the ball down low to Jermaine O'Neal and everyone else stand around. It's no wonder Jermaine was upset when they fired him. Thomas made him a crapload of money.

F IU?
Anon -- very, very nice. I like it.
And Isiah is that weird that he'd probably take a job just so it said that.

Just heard a clip from the presser on the Jim Rome show -
They introduced him as "Isiah Thompson."
Good start.
That was so awesome.
