ATLANTA -- Embattled New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas said he is not a candidate for the Indiana University job.
Thomas, whose Knicks have lost seven of eight and 14 of 16, has a 53-102 record in two seasons with the team. Though he helped Indiana win the 1981 NCAA championship, Thomas has never coached in college.
He indicated the Hoosiers haven't consulted him about becoming their head coach.
"No, I have a job," Thomas said before the Knicks played the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.
Thomas, also the Knicks' team president, said he hopes interim coach Dan Dakich is named full-time at Indiana.
Was he ever really an option? God I hope not!


Indiana better go after Bruce Pearl! I heard he might be interested in the job and he is one of the best coaches in the country.

I've heard Bennetts name mentioned quite a bit.

He came out yesterday and said he was not interested and he will be staying at Washington State

Same thing I am thinking.
None of the starting five are going to return so good luck to whoever gets it, they are going to need it. Bennett and Ellis have already been on record admitting they will transfer, Gordon is going pro, as well as sr. White. And Russell is gone too.


You'd think they'd go back to Sampson rather than go with Thomas.

I would go after Bruce Pearl or John Pelphrey but that's just me
