Liberty give Laimbeer another shot

Posted on by

The New York Liberty are such a franchise. But the re-hiring of Bill Laimbeer as coach less than three months after he was fired by the organization is head-scratching even by Liberty standards.

Oh, wait a minute. Not really. This is the Liberty we're talking about.

Let me make haste to say, though, I actually don't think this is a bad decision at all. It's correcting a bad decision, which was firing Laimbeer back in October without a really strong idea of whom the franchise could get to replace him.

From what I gather from sources around the league, Madison Square Garden Company chair James Dolan had some candidates in mind. But they didn't work out. Now with the Knicks being the primo disaster of this NBA season, Dolan probably just wanted to get the Liberty job filled. And ultimately decided to go back to Laimbeer.

Who, apparently, wasn't exactly stunned to get the call to return. Laimbeer was spending the winter fishing and playing golf. And while he wasn't expecting to coach again in the WNBA this summer, he's glad to be doing it.

"My passion is still there for the New York team," Laimbeer said Thursday. "I'd like to accomplish more for this franchise."

The Liberty were 11-23 and then 15-19 in Laimbeer's two seasons, missing the playoffs both years. But Thursday, he repeated something he had also told me back in October when he was let go: That while he didn't always enjoy his first season with the Liberty, this past season he really did like the job and working with the team. (Having a world-class center such as Tina Charles, whom the Liberty got in a trade before the 2014 season, undoubtedly helps in that regard.)

Laimbeer also said something else in October that seems pertinent to the Liberty's reversal in course this week. He talked about the difference in working for the Detroit Shock, where he answered primarily to one person, then-owner Tom Wilson. As compared to working for a public corporation like MSG.

"They've got a lot of moving pieces," Laimbeer said in October about MSG.

Indeed, they do. But from the Liberty's inception in 1997 to 2010, Carol Blazejowski was the team's general manager and front-office point person for the franchise. And while she took her share of barbs (including from me), at least you always knew whose hands were on the Liberty's steering wheel.

The rest is here:

Liberty give Laimbeer another shot

Future uncertain for New York Liberty

However, in Laimbeer's two seasons in New York, the Liberty did not make the playoffs. And on Tuesday, New York parted ways with Laimbeer and pulled the plug on what New York hoped would be "Trader Bill's" triumphant return to the WNBA. He had led the Detroit Shock to three WNBA titles (2003, '06, '08), then exited the league early in the 2009 season, the Shock's last in Detroit.

Laimbeer spent some time in the shark tank of NBA coaching before returning to the WNBA. It was supposed to be a successful merging: Laimbeer's history of success and edgy personality seemed like it might be the right fit for a Liberty franchise in the doldrums.

But after going 11-23 in 2013 and 15-19 this year, the Liberty didn't renew Laimbeer's contract. Now what?

Well, I asked the Liberty if anyone with the organization could address that very question on Tuesday. Turns out, they couldn't. Or weren't ready to. Or just didn't want to. Whatever, right?

Hey, the Lib fans don't need to hear right away what the game plan is going forward. They should still just be basking in joy about the end of the Liberty's three-year exile to Newark. They got back into refurbished Madison Square Garden this season, so surely they'll be docile and patient waiting however long or short it takes for the Liberty to figure out who takes the reins for 2015 and beyond.

Because if there's one thing New Yorkers are known for, it's patience.

I'm being sarcastic, of course, but in truth, Liberty fans have been much more patient than one might expect. New York's last appearance in the WNBA Finals was in 2002. The closest that the Liberty have come since to returning to the WNBA Finals was in 2008, when they lost the deciding Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals to Laimbeer's Shock. New York was swept by Atlanta in the 2010 East finals.

Then in the last four years -- the first two under coach John Whisenant -- the Liberty have gone a combined 60-76 and won just one playoff game. In Whisenant (Sacramento, 2005) and Laimbeer, the Liberty have tried coaches who won WNBA titles elsewhere.

So, again ... now what? Might former Liberty player Teresa Weatherspoon be tapped as the team's next coach? Do the Liberty plan on combining the job of coach/GM as they did with Whisenant and Laimbeer? Or return to the formula of having those be separate jobs? That was the case from the franchise's inception in 1997 through the 2010 season when Carol Blazejowski was the GM.

A Liberty spokesman said that no one from the organization was available to comment Tuesday. So all we have is the statement from Knicks' assistant general manager Allan Houston, thanking Laimbeer and saying the organization will "begin our search immediately to secure a general manager and coach to help us move forward and reach our ultimate goal of a WNBA championship."

Ritchie McKay leaves Virginia to return to Liberty as head basketball coach

Posted on by

Ritchie McKay, the top assistant on the Virginia mens basketball staff, will return to Liberty as its head coach, Liberty announced on Wednesday afternoon.

McKay was the head coach of the Flames from 2007 to 2009 before resigning to join Cavaliers Coach Tony Bennetts staff.

At his introductory news conference, McKay said he loves Bennett to death, and his experience in Charlottesville made him a better coach and man. Bennetts wife was in attendance at the news conference.

I learned a ton from him, McKay said of Bennett. Not only the way he coaches his team, but the way he lives his life.

McKays departure is the first staff turnover for Bennett in his six-year tenure at Virginia. McKay, 49, had his best season at Liberty in 2008-09, when the Flames finished 23-12, tying a school record for wins in a Division I season, with star freshman Seth Curry. Shortly after Curry transferred to Duke and McKay left Liberty to become the associate head coach under Bennett. McKay, whose daughter is a student at Liberty, was crucial in the recruitment of forward Anthony Gill and point guard London Perrantes to Charlottesville.

Ive been a fan of Liberty since I left, McKay said.

Brad Soucie, Virginias director of player development, is expected to follow McKay back to Liberty. Stevens coached with McKay there and followed him to Virginia six years ago. He spent his first five seasons with the Cavaliers as the director of mens basketball operations.

After McKay resigned from Liberty in 2009, the schoolhired former McKay assistant Dale Layer, who was on Buzz Williamss staff at Marquette. Layer was fired in March after compiling an 82-113 record in his six seasons with the Flames, including an NCAA tournament appearance in 2013.

Liberty Athletics Director Jeff Barber said he talked with nine candidates over the three-week process. He touted how McKay had proven himself over the course of his career and at Liberty. Barber said McKay had been approached by other schools for head-coaching vacancies, but McKay told Barber he wouldnt talk to other schools until he was assured the Liberty job wasnt an option for him.

McKay said he didnt leave Liberty initially because it wasnt a good enough job for him, but because he wanted to help his friend, Bennett, at Virginia.
