The Knicks hired former Grizzlies coach and Heat assistant David Fizdale on Thursday to be their next head coach after an extensive search.
Knicks fans took to Twitter to express how pleased they were with the move, their displeasure it wasn’t Mark Jackson coming home and their doubt in the team’s ability to become a contender anytime soon even with Fizdale:
I really hope the #Knicks let Fizdale truly coach and not dictate lineups to him. Great addition to that team!

David Fizdale is just another Mark Jackson. All preaching no plays.
