Florida International Lands Isiah Thomas - For Free!

Congratulations to FIU for getting Isiah Thomas as their new Head Basketball Coach! Lets evaluate Isiah and predict his coaching success at the college level.

Recruiting: Since FIU blows, Isiah is going to have to bring in some talent. The Knicks had to pay some chick 11 million dollars because she claimed she was sexually harassed by Mr. Thomas. I figure he can make some house visits, grope some breasts and squeeze some asses of the mothers of blue chip recruits and the National Letter of Intents will be flowing. Also, Isiah has a unique ability when it comes to identifying talent. Bringing in Stephon Marbury worked out real well for the Knicks. Grade: F

Coaching: The Knicks were 23-59 under Isiah Thomas. 36 games under .500 and a completely broken team. Lets just say the Knicks had a trash team, which they did, and its not completely his fault. Also, Isiah was a great player and in theory has a great knowledge of the game. Grade: C+

Intangibles: He obvioulsy likes challenges (he took the Knicks job), and FIU was 13-20 last year. He also either really likes drugs or really dislikes life because he overdosed on sleeping pills. He better wake his ass up if he is going to do anything with this job. Grade: F

Overall: I don't think putting a guy who was suspected of sexual harassment on a college campus in Florida is going to do him or your school any good. I see the future: FIU gets blown out by Western Kentucky, Isiah pops some pills and drinks some beers at a college party, tries to hook up with a freshman, gets fired. Final Grade: F
