(FranchisePick.Com) The last kernels of Isiah Thomas’s authority were swept away Friday afternoon when Donnie Walsh fired Thomas as coach of the NY Knicks.
Thomas will remain with the team as a “personal adviser to Walsh, but with no title and no authority.”
Said Newsday’s Isiah Thomas hails Knicks’ next king:
Isiah Thomas moonlights as a popcorn salesman, so when the Knicks’ lame-duck coach says that he is willing to accept any position within the organization, he should be careful of what he asks for.
“Whatever role, my job is to work with Donnie (Walsh),” the part-owner of the Dale and Thomas Popcorn
This newsday article Good, bad and ugly of Isiah era cites the addition of Dale & Thomas Popcorn to Madison Square Garden as one of Thomas’ top three accomplishments:
The Garden started selling the very tasty “Dale & Thomas Popcorn,” which he co-owns, and was a tremendous improvement over the previous brand.
Now that things haven’t worked out with the NY Knicks franchise, maybe Isiah can concentrate on getting things really popping with the Dale & Thomas Popcorn franchise
