The New York Post looks at the possible candidates for the Knicks head coaching search and it looks like John Calipari isn’t too high on the list at this point.
What caught my eye in this article, because there is no way Cal leaves for the NBA(right?), that Josh Harrellson is metioned as saying Cal’s style of coaching probably wouldn’t go over very well in the League.
[LEFT][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial][I]Calipari, who some NBA executives believe will become a viable candidate, does not have that cache with NBA players.
Calipari could stand as a risk, considering his NBA flop with the Nets and theatrical coaching style that his former Kentucky player, Knicks rookie Josh Harrellson, admitted might be too much for the league. Calipari probably would adjust, but why take a $7 million-per-year gamble that his college methods will work instantaneously in the NBA’s. There are indications he is not high on the Knicks’ list.[/I][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial][I]
Anthony doesn’t know Calipari well, despite both being affiliated with super agency C.A.A., which has influence on owner James Dolan and his lieutenants. Let another NBA team take a risk on Calipari’s NBA adjustment— not a fragile franchise like the Knicks built to win this moment before Stoudemire’s back explodes.
