It hasn't happened but the NBA is investigating Isiah Thomas' role with the Knicks while he is still the coach of Florida International University.
The NBA, which started an investigation of the arrangement Monday, prohibits people who coach or work for a team at the collegiate level, or work for an international team, and who have regular contact with underclassmen or other draft-ineligible players, from also working for one of the league's 30 teams.
Just based on principle the NBA should block Isiah Thomas to have anything to do the the league because he is an awful, awful man. He was an awful coach for the Pacers, and was the worse thing that ever happened to the Knicks. He also sexually harassed a lady and through his daughter under the bus when he OD'd.
Why the Knicks even want this guy is confusing too. I know he drafted David Lee, Nate Robinson but he also drafted Ranaldo Balkman, Signed Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis and Eddy Curry. He set that team back to the stone ages.
Also, from an NBA standpoint, it is absurd for Isiah to be coaching a college team and have a hand in a NBA team. It has to against some rule, and if I ran FIU I wouldn't want one of my employees to be distracted with another job, and probably fire that person.
