FIRED ON LETTERMAN: Man, it's gotta suck to be Don Chaney, the erstwhile New York Knicks coach who today suffered what may be the most humiliating firing in NBA history.
First, appearing on "The Late Show With David Letterman" last night, Knicks GM Isiah Thomas yukked it up with Dave about the "fire Chaney" chants that have been ubiquitous at Madison Square Garden for the last few weeks. The AP account:
Thomas, who took over from Scott Layden as team president late last month, appeared on the ``Late Show'' with David Letterman on Tuesday night and was asked about his plans for Chaney.
"You definitely don't like to see anyone humiliated in such a public forum,'' Thomas said of the chants. "It's a tough time for him as a man.''
Letterman then said: "So he's done, that's what you're saying?'' Thomas laughed and did not answer.
