NEW YORK (AP) --
New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas could get a giant pink slip -- from fans.
Fans who want Thomas gone from the basketball team plan to march through the streets surrounding Madison Square Garden on Wednesday carrying a huge pink slip.
Thomas has been hounded by bad publicity and calls from fans to quit since October when a former team executive won a sexual harassment lawsuit against the coach and Madison Square Garden.
A three-week trial leading up to the verdict left a crude image of a storied franchise brought low by bullying officials and a player,
Stephon Marbury, with an tawdry pick-up line used to seduce an intern into his sport utility vehicle.
The 7-and-17 Knicks play Clevelend Wednesday.
