Despite word from the NY Daily News this morning that the Czar might be coming to town, Knicks GM Isiah Thomas kicked Coach Don Chaney to the curb and instead hired Lenny Wilkens in his place. Well, if we’re going to switch horses in midstream, I much prefer Wilkens to Fratello. As for Chaney, it just so happens that I was at the Mavs game where he was so mercilessly booed. And, while I didn’t join in, I was definitely wondering why nobody was fouling Michael Finley for eleven long seconds in the crucial overtime. In sum, Chaney’s way out the door was handled classlessly, but it was also probably well overdue.
