JVG has removed himself from consideration and I think the reason is the same one he left the Knicks high and dry for before. He can't see winning with this group. Like Phil Jackson, having a winning hand going into the season is a prerequisite for guys like JVG.
Sunshine coach, IMO.
Both Isiah and LB deserve credit for accepting a terrible team and being willing to risk their reputations on making the team better. I would still like to see Larry Brown return and finish the job he started.
Walsh may be looking for a long term coach - someone who will survive short term mediocrity to get to a higher ground. Given the toxic media in NY, LB makes the most sense.
Larry Brown shares a sports analogy to Billy Martin for being a controversial fire-brand who, love-em or hate-em, produces winning teams when given a reasonable gestation time.
Guys like Jackson and Herb are already being toasted in the blogosphere. Clearly, Walsh, a decent man, expected reciprocal decency and is getting a baptism of recriminations about Isiah's tenure.
In many ways, NY is still crippled by the self-inflicted wounds being perpetrated by the media, socio-pathologically disgruntled fans, and a market that cannot tolerate losing. Tough times in the garden.
Bring back LB (BBLB).

Necessities
Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
