    My choice would be Sam Cassell with Bullard coaching offense and Elie coaching defense. That's assuming they would be interested.

    Literally anyone else would be an upgrade over Ime.

    Has there every been a consensus on why Cassell never gets hired for all the spots he's tried for?

    It’s time to rally around the loyalists. Bring in Sam, Mario and Bull as coaches, Mad Max as tv analysts.

    Yup. Scapgoated by no FVV aka point guard all year and a injured Durant playing one game in the playoffs.

    It will likely be Udoka. I would hope that common sense and analysis would lead to the installation of an offensive coordinator.

    if we were moving on, I would have to think on it. and it would also be dependent on what direction we were gonna go with the roster.

    Cassell would seem like a fine option, but you do have to wonder why he hasn’t gotten these previous gigs.

    The obsession with the Cassell and Elie on the message forum is so weird. You guys need to get over the nostalgia, there is a reason those guys have not been selected for head coaching positions.

    I don't think Ime's the problem. The culture was good a year ago until they traded for KD. Knicks fans wanted Tom Thibodeau gone. Now that they've got Mike Brown, they want Tom Thibodeau back.

    If Ime is not gone, they need an offensive mind on the coaching staff bc Ime is clueless offensively.

    I don't know. I'd be okay with Sam. Most legitimate HC candidates would be an improvement at this point.

    Only way to get rid of Ime is if Dream said something. Short of that, we’re stuck with he-man.

    “Culture” was good last year because we’re even younger and finally playing some winning basketball after all these years.

    KD scandal didn’t help **** this year for sure, but regardless Ime has not been able to coach up this team and we have regressed on both sides of the ball.

    He also doesn’t take accountability for himself and as a player who’s on that team I could completely understand being tired of this dude because the majority of the fan base is and we don’t have to hear him every day.
