Who did he force to sleep with him to get that job?
Thomas accepts university coaching post
Related:Onetime National Basketball Association great Isiah Thomas, whose stint as a coach and executive with the New York Knicks was plagued by problems, will return to coaching at Florida International University.
"We are very excited to have such a legendary athlete and proven winner in Isiah Thomas to lead our men's basketball program," Florida International athletic director Pete Garcia said.
Thomas won’t find soft landing in college

Who did he force to sleep with him to get that job?
I wonder if Raja Bell approves.
Isiah is a disaster. But, I won't knock someone for taking a job and working.
The people at Florida International on the other hand... what the are they thinking? I guess their program must really be down the toilet.
FIT yes a perennial basketball power lol.
Isiah was the best they could do. They were made for each other. Mediocrity meet Mr. Mediocrity.
I give the guy props for going into coaching again. Don't know if it will work out for him. I figured a few years down the road he would do tv as a sports commentator after all the blew over.
Being a college coach is about recruiting and evaluating players. He is probably the worst GM in NBA history. I believe it was his descision to overpay jerome james after a mediocre series vs spurs. He is not a good evaluator of talent, and a below .500 coach. This can not end well.
what kind of dumb university would hire this failure as a coach
Isiah could not find the right role players. But, I wouldn't say he's not a good evaluator of talent. I think he's actually a pretty good evaluator of talent. His drafts have been for the most part pretty good. Constructing a team and choosing the right pieces to build that team is where he really failed, among other areas. But, he definitely has an eye for talent.
Isiah is a poor coach, but he may be able to recruit.
A University trying to up their recruiting and spotlight levels.
Yep, great decison making in deciding to pair Marbury up with Franchise. Wouldn't listen to any of the pundits and look what happened.
Ok? What's your point?Yep, great decison making in deciding to pair Marbury up with Franchise. Wouldn't listen to any of the pundits and look what happened.
Again, even though that didn't work, both Marbury and Franchise are/were considered talented players. True, just having talented players doesn't work on the pro level, but on the college level it is more than enough to compete.Yep, great decison making in deciding to pair Marbury up with Franchise.

In college, you have to be able to recruit, and pull in talent. That is 90% of the battle right there.
And Thomas does have an eye for talent. Especially with the work he did in Toronto. Damon Stoudamire won Rookie Of The Year, and Marcus Camby has been a staple in the NBA as a strong defensive player.
This is also a win for Florida International. They're in the Sunbelt conference (I think), so its not like they're going to be winning the NCAA le or anything. But any attention the school can get, plus drawing in an upgraded talent level, can only be a plus. If Thomas doesn't work out down there, then so what? They suck anyhow!
+ McGrady out of HS with the #9 pick.
