The previous season he did fine but I think a large reason behind that is his uncanny ability to rally a time and motivate them. I think a lot of times last year, we won off of heart by Knick players trying to save Isiah's job. I initially felt that our main problem last year was having a team too young to execute properly down the stretch. I'm starting to believe, after this season, that it's how the team is operated (or a lack thereof) has been part of the problem (including during the Larry Brown stint). Even though Marbury has made some block head comments in the past, he might have been onto something when he criticized Isiah for not having a system where every player has a position to be on the floor during plays. On a young team like this one, I think you need more structure than Isiah has provided but less rigid than what we saw with Larry Brown. Isiah would be perfect for a veteran team because those kind of teams know how to play the game and simply need motivation and inspiration; the Pistons would be a great fit.
