Isiah Thomas Doesn't Want to be the Next Coach of the Indiana Hoosiers

This should be filed under the "you have a lot of nerve" section. New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas is taking his name out of being a possible replacement for the embattled Kelvin Sampson at Indiana. Isiah, apparently, thinks he's got a good thing going, now:

"No, I'm very anchored here (in New York)," he said. "It's a tough thing that Coach Sampson and the university is going through. But I still support 'em. I support the university." Of course, it likely will be anchors aweigh for Thomas at the end of the season. That would free him up for a return to Bloomington, where his son Joshua is a student, should Sampson be fired.

By the way, that was from the New York Daily News.

Someone had to give him the idea of coaching at Indiana ... because there is no way in Hades that the Hoosiers need that. Sure, let's dump Sampson and bring in a guy who has run the Knicks into the ground and pulled them through an embarrassing sexual harrassment trial.

I think that even the potted plants in Bloomington miss Bobby Knight.
