James Johnson arrested

Jury Awards $11.6 Million to Former Knicks Executive

A jury ruled today that Isiah Thomas, the coach of the New York Knicks, sexually harassed a former team executive and that Madison Square Garden, the owner of the team, improperly fired her for complaining about the unwanted advances.

The jury, in Federal District Court in Manhattan, also ruled that the former executive, Anucha Browne Sanders, is entitled to $11.6 million in punitive damages from the Garden and James L. Dolan, the chairman of Cablevision, the parent company of the Garden and the Knicks.

Another example of a 2 and done player making the wrong kind of headlines.

The great Bobby Knight would never recruit such a player....

Bob Knight was a pioneer of recruiting 2 and done players. From 1976 (ABA/NBA merger) until 1989 there were 17 players who were drafted after 1 or 2 years of college. 3 of them played at Indiana under Bobby Knight. No other school contributed more than 1. Link

Edit: only 2 played for Indiana (a 3rd was drafted by Indiana and I simply misread it). bkf's hypocrisy still stands though.
