It’s sad when you’re so bad of a coach you have to pay the school for them to hire you.

I think it is a good gesture. Sucks he’s gonna get blasted for it.

There is nothing funnier than reading the ignorance and opinions of the ESPN.com readers under the comments section.

Isiah wasn’t a bad coach with the Pacers. No one will argue he was a terrible GM, but as a coach you will have some argument.

I think he is an average coach, good evaluator of talent, and a bad GM.

I think he could have been a better GM elsewhere, but with the way the Knicks ownership was against rebuilding, he had an open check book and was awful with it. He has drafted well without having lottery picks.

Overall I could see him being a good college coach.

So what attracted FIU to Isaiah?
His sexually harassing an employee in NY, or his stealing all the $ from the CBA owners?

Hahahaha this sucks, that program must be desperate as hell. As a very devoted follower of the NBA I can honestly say that IT is one of the worst coaches I have ever witnessed. He’s like the equivalent of Art Shell in the NFL. FIU’s program is doomed but hey at least they got some pub.
