\n You ask, we answer. The Post is fielding questions from readers about New York\u2019s biggest pro sports teams and getting our beat writers to answer them in a series<\/a> of regularly published mailbags. In today\u2019s installment: the Knicks. <\/em><\/p>\n

What happ<\/a>ened to Steve Stoute? Haven\u2019t heard from him since that controversial ESPN interview. \u2014 Robert <\/strong><\/p>\n

Now in his fifth month, Stoute still is working as a Knicks branding consultant in charge of improving the images of James Dolan and the Knicks. But he couldn\u2019t prevent the recent Statementgate.<\/p>\n

Stoute, who is African-American, is involved and had a hand in Dolan finally releasing Tuesday\u2019s statement related to the Black Lives Matter movement \u2014 which was purposely distributed on the day of George Floyd\u2019s funeral.<\/p>\n

The statement, coming after all other NBA teams had said their piece, still was viewed in some circles as too late and rubbed Dolan\u2019s detractors the wrong way for being too brief and vague. That\u2019s the lens through which Dolan is viewed. He can do nothing right even when he has been the NBA\u2019s leader in African-American front-office hires.<\/p>\n

Hired on Jan. 23, Stoute has made no headway nor has he done himself any favors. His February appearance on ESPN in which he stated the Knicks will bring in a new coaching staff to develop the young players was a faux pas. The Knicks released a statement contradicting Stoute. You can\u2019t make it up. Interim Mike Miller still is being considered to remain as head coach.<\/p>\n

Under Stoute\u2019s watch, Dolan\u2019s approval rating sunk further with his needless spat with Spike Lee on March 2. Stoute\u2019s goal was to bring Charles Oakley back to the Garden and things are at an impasse. The first \u201cSell The Team\u2019\u2019 chants rang out at the Garden in the final home game<\/a>s under Stoute\u2019s watch. Stoute can only go up from here.<\/p>\n

Do you view the potential hiring of Thibs in the same way as when the Giants hired (Tom) Coughlin? \u2014 Tim <\/strong><\/p>\n

It appeared the perfect time for the woeful Knicks to bring in a gruff taskmaster who supports long practices and an old-school style of leadership and discipline. However, in light of historic events the past two weeks, Tom Thibodeau\u2019s relentless style could at least make you pause at its timing. There\u2019s a new sensitivity and new school emerging. Remember, Thibodeau was considered too demanding of young players in Minnesota. Perhaps Kenny Atkinson\u2019s less-taxing approach is more in vogue. Rookie president Leon Rose will likely trust his instincts if he believes a military-type disciplinarian of Coughlin\u2019s ilk and superb winning background is needed with a young roster.<\/p>\n

Why isn\u2019t Mark Jackson being considered to be the coach. He is a proven winner while making (the Warriors) who they are today. He played for the Knicks and is a native New Yorker. Jackson should be the coach and Patrick Ewing should be his assistant. \u2014 Ralph Decasseres <\/strong><\/p>\n

Especially during this moment of history, the Queens product would seem an obvious choice to get an interview like in 2018. Jackson did not respond to a phone message. Jackson deserves another head-coaching gig after his success in Golden State. The knock on Jackson is he took the easy way out after the Warriors fired him by going back to the broadcasting booth instead of trying his hand as a lead assistant.<\/p>\n

Submit your Knicks questions to be answered in an upcoming mailbag<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

I loved Mike Woodson as coach but why did he get fired? And during his tenure was he known to not play younger players? \u2014 Darryl Walker <\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of Phil Jackson\u2019s biggest mistakes \u2014 not keeping Woodson after the 2013-14 season. Jackson took over in March 2014 and Woodson\u2019s club made a big run down the stretch to nearly steal a playoff berth. That season after the 54-win landmark years was muddled with injuries before Woodson righted the ship. Woodson was willing to coach the triangle but Jackson never even talked to him once the season was over. Jackson hired the inexperienced Derek Fisher right after his retirement as a player and after Steve Kerr backed out. Woodson probably preferred veterans during that win-now mode but wasn\u2019t averse to young players at all. Woodson got the most of any coach out of Carmelo Anthony. There\u2019s little negative to say about Woodson\u2019s stint as he finished with the third-highest winning percentage in team history (.580, 109-79).<\/p>\n

We have a budding star in Mitchell Robinson. Why do we need to get Karl-Anthony Towns? \u2014 Mike <\/strong><\/p>\n

Why do you think we need Towns? (He costs) more than he is worth and simply hasn\u2019t even gotten his team anywhere! \u2014 BB <\/strong><\/p>\n

Seriously? Mitchell Robinson has taken five jump shots in two seasons. It\u2019s easy to knock Towns now after an injury-wracked season on a terrible Timberwolves club. But the former No. 1 pick in the draft is a stud \u2014 he earned his first All-Star berth under Thibodeau\u2019s watch. He\u2019s a career 22.7 ppg scorer with an average of 11.4 rebounds \u2014 still better than Kristaps Porzingis. Rose is his former agent, too. However, as we\u2019ve noted, Thibodeau getting the job could preclude Towns as a future target. The videos of Robinson draining 3s are uplifting but having the confidence to do it a in game is different. Hopefully next season Robinson will be unleashed and will look at the basket when he gets the ball from 15 feet out.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
