When I first read the title, I thought “Why the fuck would you think that one of the greatest centers ever and the face of the Knicks for more than a decade a coach would be a terrible idea? CRAZY!”

And then I read the whole story.

Great article Dime.

I’m not sold on Ewing as a coach. He didn’t manage to build a reputation for himself at Washington or Houston. Let’s give him another year or two in Orlando and see where he goes from there. Too early to be talking about head coaching jobs for him in my opinion.

T Ton, I’m with you on Michael Cooper. Why the heck isn’t his name mentioned in job openings anymore? He’s been completely forgotten as a candidate for an NBA job. I’d love to see him get a run with someone.

Ewing has a high IO for the low post and can help Curry develop an J and go to move on the block, same for Randolph.

This situation is no different than when Zeke took over for Larry Brown. Everyone initially thought the franchsie was turning the corner until the contract extension and the team lost focus and Isaiah lost the team.

I thought Mark Jackson was as big an icon in NYC as Ewing since Mark is born and raised in two burroughs Queens and Brooklyn.

Anybody from NYC wanna comment..Who does the NYC streets want Jackson or Ewing?

CONS: It would ruin Ewing’s reputation because this team has to be rebuilt over several years before they compete consistently.

PROS: If Ewing is hanging onto your ankles, you aren’t going anywhere.

I dont know if you want to give a brand new coach the worst player in the NBA, Zach Randolph, to cut his teeth with. Ewig doesnt strike me as a real high basketball IQ type of guy. Just watching him play in SLOW motion his entire career, I dont know how he could translate that into a good coaching career. He would be better off helping out a real coach by being a good lacky.

The only advantage he would have, is the team is rock bottom, and when you are on the bottom the only way to go is up. If he joins, at least he wouldnt be the slowest guy on the Knicks, Fat Zach has that honour.

“If and when the team is terrible, the fans will turn on him and he might never get a shot at a head spot anywhere ever again, let alone with his beloved Knicks.”

This is exactly why I wouldn’t want Mark to caoch to the team. It might ruin future opportunities.
