MIAMI (AP) -Isiah Thomas was finally back on the court Saturday.
Holding his first official practice as Florida International’s coach, the Hall of Fame player ran up and down with his new team, yelling out pointers on how to defend off the dribble. Far from his past coaching home with the New York Knicks, Thomas said his focus is on rebuilding the Golden Panthers, who finished 13-20 last season.
He led stretching drills and cheers, looking agile and carefree in his new gym.
“Today is here, I’m prepared for it and I’m ready for it,” Thomas said. “I’m very excited.”
So are players and fans.
