Isiah Thomas kiss of death department

Peter Vecsey-- the man whose stories NBA fans love to dismiss-- reports that before becoming the Knicks GM Isiah Thomas had "serious conversations" about replacing Mike Davis and taking over Indiana University's basketball program. The implication, clearly, is that IU might provide an escape hatch should Isiah want to head out of town at the end of the Knicks season.

I realize he's a famous alum and all, but would anyone in their right mind put Thomas in charge of anything related to basketball at this point? Fans and alums of every other Big 10 program have to be on their knees praying this happens.

RE: Isiah to Indiana

Actually, I think that's the one thing that Isiah might be good at. He's got a good eye for talent, he wouldn't have to deal with any financial issues, and we all know that anybody who can recruit can be a decent college coach (see Calipari, John or Pitino, Rick.) Seems to me like the college game is perfectly suited to Isiah's talents.
