So Isiah, What Do You Think Of Your Job...

[H-towngreen]

How many times is his current program even brought up in this? And it's an entire story about wanting to leave your current job!? Just find it interesting.

Are you saying that Thomas may not be fully committed to the fortunes of FIU and that they may have made a mistake in hiring a "name" coach who really has his eyes on something else and will jump ship the minute that opportunity is given him...??

Regardless of the state of his current program...

There are probably enough red flags here that a lesson can be extracted...

I just don't get how these kids are committing to FIU when Isiah has been pretty vocal about wanting to get back to the NBA

Exiled in Miami

Hilarious. So his recruiting pitch is "come join me in exile."

If the good folks at Florida International University didn't feel like fools the day they hired Isiah Thomas to run their basketball program, they surely do now.

After all, he has now included on his résumé the line, "Will loudly beg for a job I sucked at." And all at the university's expense. . . .

In the meantime, FIU is standing there being made to look stupid because they hired a guy they knew was never interested in them anyway, just needed a place to earn before he went back and wasn't going to leave any kind of lasting footprint on the program.

Hey, FIU hired a coach with name "splash".

"What um..." Oh nevermind.

"When the choice was presented, either be a consultant with the Knicks or stay at FIU, I chose to stay at FIU," Thomas said. "Now, if you would have told me at the start of the summer, I probably would have bet you that I wouldn't have made the choice to come back to FIU.

From a new article, this one FIU focused, posted today on ESPN.
