Isiah Thomas Florida International Press Conference
Isiah Thomas' FIU Coaching Career Is Off To A Rousing Start
As I'm sure you know, Florida International yesterday came to the conclusion that it would be a wise move to allow team-killer extraordinaire Isiah Thomas to be their new head coach. Florida International is, of course, a bit of a downgrade from some of Thomas' previous jobs. No one knows how it'll go for Isiah, but I know this much, it didn't start very well. In fact, during his press conference, FIU even got his name wrong. Ouch.


 
On top of that, when he was interviewed by ESPN yesterday, he got grilled about his suicide attempt from last year. You know, the one where he said it was his daughter that was taken to the hospital and not him. That wonderful move earned him lifetime Father of the Year status from me. But anyway, here's the uncomfortable interview.


Yes, it's going to be a fun time at Florida International. I can only imagine where Isiah goes after this gig doesn't work out. South America? Guam? Who knows. At least he's coaching for free.

Does anyone else have the feeling that when the Isiah era ends at Florida International University, that Isiah will have worked very hard to remove the I from FIU and leave that Owls with just an FU.

Wow it sounds like they don't even know what a basketball looks like at FIU.  He's gonna go bonkers there.

There's is no way Isaiah is gonna do well at FIU. Sure he was a fantastic player but I don't think he's cut out to be a coach.

I hope he talks better as a coach then he does explaining away the news that is being published. Wish him well and that comment about taking the I out ... priceless.
