<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Carlisle may be headed to Hawks Rick Carlisle Getty Images Rick Carlisle, whom Larry Bird hired to replace Isiah Thomas as coach of the Indiana Pacers, also is available for possibly taking over as coach of the New York Knicks — if Donnie Walsh takes over as Knicks president — but there are whispers that Carlisle could end up with the Atlanta Hawks. Source: New York Daily News</div> http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/rumors/post/Ca...s?urn=nba,72275 I really hate the guys boring style of play, but if he can make the Hawks a better team, than I'm all for it.
Eh...Hawks have the potential to be a good defensive team. Moreso than the Knicks, and potentially any other team with an "open" head coaching job. I think Carlisle has a chance to do a good job with the Hawks.

Out of these two teams, the up and coming Hawks and the poor un-organized Knicks. I see him going to the Hawks. They have a lot of young players, and are ready to make a push for the play-offs. While the Knicks are no where near a play-off spot. If he went to the Knicks over the Hawks, he'd be an idiot.
I don't think he fits best with Atlanta, because Carlisle will slow them down and won't allow them to gun like they should with their group of athletes. The Knicks? I like Carlisle, and I hope he doesn't take a job there because it would just make him look bad. He doesn't deserve a poor situation like that, and no coach can fix that team with the current makeup. I picked other. I'd like to see what he could do with Minnesota, if he's looking for a long-term commitment. He could teach a young team with upside how to play defense, and his halfcourt mindset would fit well with Al Jefferson.
