When David Fizdale signed a four-year contract with the New York Knicks last May, it looked like a return to normalcy. The front office was no longer the dated Zen haven of Hall of Famer Phil Jackson. The Carmelo Anthony drama was over. Fizdale is taking over without any of the familiar drama surrounding the Knicks.
Or is it? No disrespect to Fizdale, but no coaching job with the Knicks is ever safe. The franchise is the NBA’s most unpredictable and just when they look ready to turn a corner, impatience takes over and they’re right back to square one.
