Isiah Thomas' reign of terror on the Knicks' sideline is finally over, according to Mark Berman of the New York Post. Berman cites a team source who said Thomas will be informed during a 5pm conference call tonight that he's being relieved of his head coaching duties and reassigned elsewhere in the organization. So who's going to replace Thomas? As I noted earlier today, Mark Jackson looks like the favorite, especially considering this little nugget from Berman:
Walsh indicated his interest in Jackson before Wednesday's season finale in Indianapolis, saying he knew he would always make a good coach. Walsh tried to interview Jackson for the Pacers last year, but Larry Bird was opposed.That said, expect Walsh to take his time with the coaching search, especially if he's thinking of giving Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau, widely credited for orchestrating Boston's defensive renaissance this year, a chance to interview. Stay tuned, I have a feeling we'll have more to say about this situation all weekend.

3. I for one am truly happy that blood shed is over, I'm no longer a Knick fan,but I'll always be a New Yorker. They never deserved Thomas and they don't deserve Dolan.The league should take the team from him,so New York basketball can return to power....

4. I know it's sick, but I'm sorta sorry to see the end of this once-in-a-lifetime roster. My buddy insisted that we had to commemorate it with a t-shirt to relive all that perverse entertainment the Knicks gave us NBA fans for years to come.
