If reports are accurate, five-time NBA champion Derek Fisher will soon trade his tight-fitting jersey for a three-piece suit as head coach of the New York Knicks. Two reasons why this is fascinating: it’s the Knicks and Fish has zero experience. But, hey, at least he’s not a boxer moonlighting as a congressman and gasp, PBA coach.
I'm fine with hiring Fish (I guess) if it means hiring an experienced staff. What's that you say? Rick Fox?

Knicks fans, next month you'll have Derek Fisher as coach and JR Smith as your best player. You're not a basketball team. You're a sitcom.
