News from the Garden

On Mike and The Mad Dog, Mike Francesa just reported that the jury in the Anucha Browne Sanders trial seems to be coming down on the side of the plaintiff, which means that the Garden will likely take a big hit financially and otherwise. Interestingly, Francesa said that someone from the Garden called him to say, "If you talk about this, make sure you mention that no matter what the verdict is, Isiah will be the coach this season." Both Mike and Chris doubted that this would be the result if the verdict comes back fully in Sanders' favor; however, as Mike said, "Dolan is stubborn."
This whole case is a mess, and the Garden folks should be embarrassed in a number of ways. Regardless of what went on behind closed doors, Thomas, Dolan and the entire Knicks organization look like a bunch of fools.
Update (10/1 5:27PM): Mike just said that a source tells him that the Garden is going to lose the whole thing. And "if they lost everything, Isiah would still be the coach." Chris: "Easy to say that on October 2."
