FIU head basketball coach Isiah Thomas

Thomas didn't accomplish much with the Knicks, as their head coach, but he did lead the Indiana Pacers to three consecutive playoff appearances, from 2000-2003.

As Broussard points out, Thomas is good friends with Pistons president Joe Dumars, a former teammate.
