I really hope the #Knicks let Fizdale truly coach and not dictate lineups to him. Great addition to that team! @Carterjgray

David Fizdale is just another Mark Jackson. All preaching no plays. Knicks need a X and O coach not a motivational speaker @LeBandz_James

My Knicks just hired David Fizdale. We could have done way worse. Not bad at all @Evan_Devould

The Fizdale move gives me hope that the Knicks can be a 6 seed in my lifetime @sunraysunray

The #knicks are ways away from being any good but I like the hire of David Fizdale. @JasonN2288

I’m not saying David Fizdale isn’t a good coach (I don’t know much about him), but why won’t the #Knicks hire Mark Jackson? I just don’t get it. @yourboysdot

David fizdale was the best coach for us and the best coach without a job, glad the Knicks picked him up @_saintmarx

Very excited for David Fizdale as he gets another head coaching opportunity. He’s an incredible basketball mind. If the Knicks give him space, he can bring the team back and create a quick positive impact. @RulingSports

I’m so hyped the Knicks finally hired a great coach. Welcome to New York David Fizdale! @jdelgado_5

Super happy about the Fizdale hire. Going to change the culture, focus on defense and hopefully get some free agents to New York. I know LeBron loves him #AManCanDream #Knicks @TheRealQuiggls

I hope Fizdale brings back that Riley thing where everybody on the Knicks gets into the best shape they’ve ever been in in their lives. @JonKnicksFan
