. . . would that be Heaven or Hell?????

Reports are that the virulent new head mentor at Florida International, former Knick coach and sexual harrasser Isiah Thomas, is trying to convince septic recruit Lance Stephenson that southern Florida is just the place for him to pursue his lofty higher educational goals.

Is college basketball a warm and comfy place or what? Thomas has instigated the demise of everything he’s touched since his championship days with the Pistons, where he had Chuck Daly and Joe Dumars and Dennis Rodman as antidotes. (Okay, Rodman’s name on that list is a joke.) And Stephenson’s parents have so much baggage that needs to be filled with Benjamins before their son will matriculate that on the face of it Southern Cal may be his only viable monetary option. Yo, Coach Floyd, you got any mo’ cabbage left for this baller from NY?

Anyway Thomas and Stephenson seem made for each other methinks. This would be yet a new paradigm for all that’s good and wholesome in the what can you do for me right now World of College Hoops Recruiting.
