Walsh hired as Knicks prez, will wait on Isiah decision

Donnie Walsh is the new president of the New York Knicks, and he says he'll wait a few days before deciding on Isiah Thomas' future with the organization. The Knicks hired the longtime Indiana Pacers executive Wednesday. The New Yorker was given complete power to oversee basketball operations of a team finishing its seventh straight losing season. New York never won a playoff game under Thomas, its president since December 2003. He became coach in June 2006. [link]
