NEW YORK -- Isiah Thomas will fire Knicks coach Don Chaney and replace him with Mike Fratello -- possibly as early as tonight -- the New York Daily News is reporting


(Y) seems like a good move to me, Fratello gives them a coach who preaches defence

Good reporting work Jowe.

I heard that Fratello's Cavs teams were very boring to watch. That's about all I know. Hopefully he'll be better than Chaney.

It must suck when you hear such a rumor and then find out you didn't get the job.

He doesn't think it sucks, he thinks it's silly that Isiah Thomas announced it when he hadn't given Czar a contract. (or something... i read it in an article somewhere)

I read that Fratello either wasn't even contacted about the job, or wasn't close to getting the job shortly before Lenny Wilkens was named as the new head coach.

All the NY papers said Fratello had asked for too much $$$.
