MIAMI (AP) -FIU hired Isiah Thomas to reinvent its basketball program. In turn, Thomas knows he can likely reinvent himself.
If ever a team needed revitalizing, it’s FIU, with nine straight losing seasons and a record over that span that doesn’t even rank among the top 300 Division I programs.
So here to lead this colossal rebuilding challenge comes a Basketball Hall of Fame player, an icon in the game, whose last stop with the New York Knicks began with spectacular fanfare and ended amid a spectacular flameout.
It starts Monday at No. 6 North Carolina, and even Thomas isn’t shy about saying this could be a lengthy project.
