Knicks interviewed Euro coach
Donnie Walsh's disinclination to volunteer the name of the European coach he interviewed regarding the Knicks' job, notwithstanding, a source reveals it was Italian (but of course) Ettore Messina, whose CSKA Moscow team won the European Championship two weeks ago in Madrid.

Italians getting preference for the Knicks coaching position?
In New York? You think? Gee, that's a surprise.
Italians already run the mob in New York, so of course it makes sense that they should run Madison Square Garden as well.

Interesting question - If D'Antoni hadn't stepped in, and the Knicks went ahead and hired Messino, would they send Isiah to Moscow to take over as coach of that team?
Those of you Isiah-haters would probably applaud that move.
Regardless, it would have been an interesting exchange. They would pluck the coach out of Europe and offer to send a replacement as a gesture of goodwill.

when a team shows interest - it makes future negotiations easier (for players)

you know, they play the game right over there. bringing some of those coaches over here might be a good idea. anyone read the SI vault story about bill russell that was posted the other day? it's good to be reminded of what greatness in an athlete looks like.
