A verdict earlier Tuesday found that New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas had sexually harassed Browne Sanders, subjecting her to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults, but also said he does not have to pay punitive damages.
A federal jury has decided that Madison Square Garden and its chairman must pay $11.6 million in damages to former New York Knicks executive Anucha Browne Sanders over her harassment lawsuit.
Is Isiah gone!!??

Sadly, I don't think that they will.
I've never been an Isiah fan, he was a great basketball player, but that doesn't make him above the law!

No. Thomas keeps his job because Madison Square Garden corporation--who own the Knicks--vehemently support Thomas' innocence and defiantly will appeal.
The award is nothing but a irksome small bug bite to MSG--it's the principal that's the issue....and maybe the judgement needs to be challenged.
Any sexual harassment court lawsuit awards based on "she said / he said"--w/ NO audio or video taped evidence is overbearingly suspicious and can lead one to logically suspect undertable pay-ola MAY be at play here.
And sexual harassment claims, for the most part, are mainly done either out of racial spite or political spite: If a woman can't make it in the business world--sue for sexual harassment and make them pay.
That's the NEW message sexual harassment is making---and it's the WRONG message!

If they don't then I believe that Dolan should be investigated because obviously that would prove that Thomas has something on him. How could someone run an organization as far into the ground as Thomas has and still have a job?

They should but Dolan and the rest of the Knicks and MSG executives are just waste of human life as Isiah Thomas is!!!!

There alot of Knicks and Isiah haters in this world....and in Y&A.
If Isiah was your fav. team coach or Stephon Marbury was sign to your fav. team and one day he made a buzzer beater shot and won, would you still hate them?
To answer your question, no
because they need a coach and Isiah has been with the knicks a couple of years now and made great drafting and so
look at the knicks rosters, you cant hate that?
[yes, there not cetlics contender]

Probably not, but they should cause he hasn't improved the team much if any. Sadly the Knicks are not gonna be any better in the next 5 years.

No. He deserves to stay and coach the Knicks. That in itself should be punishment enough.

Why would they now? If his job performance hasn't gotten him canned before now, who knows what it might take. Maybe an accusation of being a terrorist? Or a remark about Rutgers lady basketball.

she is a liar who got her way because they felt bad for her because she was black. There used to be not enough justice for blacks and now there is way too much.
Anucha Browne Sanders- ROT IN HELL!!!!
