The FIU basketball banquet was tonight- apparently the basketball team walked out of the banquet to protest the firing of Isiah Thomas-
I know what I'd do if I was the AD.Comment

Nothing will ever beat the moment at Isiah Thomas' introductory press conference when the AD introduced him as "our basketball coach, Isiah Thompson."#DunkOnYouComment

Isaiah Thomas (of Sac) getting booed at MSG this year was pretty solid as well.Originally posted by PTownHawkeye View PostI can do all things through pasta, which strengthens me.Comment

Here is a story and some video of the FIU players getting up right in the middle of an introductory speech and walking across the room, in front of the stage and out of the room (after they got a free meal out of it). Really a classless way of showing their support for their fired coach. Especially since the banquet was entirely to honor the players and their (limited) accomplishments, and was supported by all the donors who support the basketball program at FIU.-
IMO, the AD or the next coach needs to give all those guys their release and start over. Talk about the inmates running the asylum.

Isiah Thomas said Friday he isn't through with basketball and would like to be a college coach or in the NBA again...Comment

I would think whoever would hire him would be on the bubble right away. And guaranteed to be fired soon.

Saw this funny tweet from CBSSports:
Isiah Thomas: "I definitely want to be in basketball again."
Basketball: "If only the feeling was mutual..."Comment
