Can I make a Knicks coach poll - vote for your fav Knick coach? 

Post#1 » by Luv those Knicks » Wed Jun 4, 2025 3:31 pm

To properly do a list, a few posts and at least 5 polls would need to be done to pick top 5.

Any objections? If not, I'll start tomorrow.

If so, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Better off doing a poll on the top HC candidates after Thibs getting fired.

OP made it confusing, but if you look at his post he links a wikipedia with all of the head coaches throughout Knicks history. So, he apparently wants to do a poll of former coaches, but then added all of these weird options like Kamala, Trump etc. Just very poorly written IMO. Sorry OP.

That was my attempt at humor. Clearly, I'm no Groucho Marks, or Woody Allen, or Tom Arnold. Though maybe I'm Woody Allen when it comes to women. I always did have a thing for my stepdaughter.


. . . (waits to get booted from the board)


But, I promise, starting tomorrow, the head coach poll will be 100% legit.
Go Knicks!! Go Mets!!

Sorry, I cleaned it up - voting has been reset, so if you already voted, vote again.

I often go for "weird", sometimes it doesn't fly.

It's a poll to guage interest on running a series of polls. It wouldn't stop at just Holzman. Anyway, initially the response was positive, so it's begun.
