Somebody won...somebody lost. Why? Anything to do with the direction of the
team?

Gee, I don't know...were you living in New York then and anytime after? The
Knicks got knocked out of the playoffs and Pitino left...suddenly. They had
every chance to continue the run and gun style, but ...after a brief
interlude they went with...? Pitino saw the writing on the wall, just as
the Knicks saw that Pitino-ball was a loser in the playoffs. You and Kim
keep mentioning a "power struggle." This had "nothing" to do with which
person was going to make decisions concerning the future of the team and
what they were going to do? And especially how Ewing was going to be
used...that is...you either go with a guard oriented offense or you play
Ewing and a shot? Pitino got it wrong. He was on the wrong side of the
argument. He saw it coming and he went to Kentucky. The papers were
referring to him as a "college coach" right up to the end. To answer your
question about the sky: Sometimes the sky is blue. Sometimes it's grey. And
at sunset...you pick the colors. And then there's the Aurora.
