I think we're all pretty happy with where the Knicks have been over the last three or four years under Leon Rose's stewardship.
Absolutely.
Now, we have talked before, and one of the age-old adages, if you're going to get rid of a guy as a head coach, you better know who you're replacing him with.

Sometimes you don't know who is out there.
