    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">NEW YORK -- Isiah Thomas all but ruled out taking over as coach of the New York Knicks this season, saying Monday it would be "impossible" for him to be both team president and head coach.


    "The responsibility that I have here, president of the Knicks, we're in a state where I think it would be impossible for me to do both jobs and do them well," Thomas said. "Again, we're trying to get healthy and we're trying to dig ourselves out of a big hole. I don't think I would do this organization justice if I did both jobs."


    Despite that statement, Thomas would not give assurances that Don Chaney will remain the coach for the rest of the season. New York entered Monday night's game against Dallas 15-23.

    I personally think that Isiah is making a right decision sticking with being president W/Knicks, but why not? Redskins hire Joe Gibbs and made him coach and president, but that's football.

    This season, anyway. I think he'll take over at the beginning of next season and give up the GM position.
