Isiah Thomas hoping for return Isiah Thomas said Friday he isn't through with basketball and would like to be a college coach or in the NBA again. 目前赋闲在家的“微笑刺客”Isiah Thomas表示他非常想重新回到篮球世界，不 管是担任一名大学教练还是NBA教练或经理。 Thomas was fired as Florida International's coach in April after compiling a 26-65 record in three seasons. He previously coached in the NBA with the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers and served as the general manager for the Knicks and Toronto Raptors. 在执教了三个赛季的佛罗里达国际大学之後，Isiah Thomas 於今年四月不幸被 球队解雇，在此期间他率领球队只取得了26胜65负的战绩。其实这样的表现并不 是很意外，因为之前他在担任尼克和溜马的教练时球队的战绩就不是很好，而除 了担任过这两支球队的主教练意外，微笑刺客还曾出任过尼克和暴龙的总经理。 "I definitely want to be in basketball again whether it be coaching or as a general manager," Thomas said by phone. "My gift is basketball. I would love working with the kids. If it's the right college program, I would consider it. If it's the right GM job or coaching job in the NBA, I would consider it. I love the game. I just want to be in the game." 「我真的很想重返篮球界，不管是教练还是总经理。」Thomas在接受记者采访时 说道，「我的天赋就在篮球方面。我很喜欢和孩子们在一起共工作，如果有一份 非常合适的大学计划，我会考虑加盟。 而如果有一份合适的NBA总经理或者教练 的工作的话，我也会慎重考虑的。我喜欢比赛，我非常迫切地想回到比赛中去。」 Thomas said he knows his name is still often brought up regarding positions with the Knicks because of his friendship with team owner James Dolan. Knicks coach Mike Woodson recently said he didn't plan on adding Thomas to his staff. Thomas在采访中说道他知道他的名字还总是会被和尼克联系在一起，因为他和那边 还有千丝万缕的联系，他和球队老板杜兰的关系非常不错。在今天早些时候尼克正 式与伍德森完成了续约，不过遗憾的是这位纽约新帅并没有表示要邀请微笑刺客加 盟的意思。 Thomas would not comment on whether he's had conversations with the Knicks about a potential position with the team. "I have great friends in the organization," said Thomas, a two-time NBA champion and 12-time All-Star with the Detroit Pistons. "A lot of them I gave them their first job opportunities in the NBA. The owner and I have a very good relationship. It's an organization I will always root for and will always want them to do well because they're all personal friends of mine." 「我还有很多朋友在那个团队中。」Thomas说道，「我曾经给过他们中很多人在NBA 第一份工作的机会，他们的老板和我有着非常不错的友谊。这是一个我一直会支持 团队，我希望他们能做的更好，因为从我个人来说他们和我都是好朋友。」 Despite his strong feelings for the Knicks, Thomas said he would listen to any coaching or general manager offers in the NBA. 当然除了尼克之外，Thomas表示他还将会聆听其他球队的召唤，如果有合适的他一 定会欣然前往。 "I'm like everyone else, I keep my options open," Thomas said. "My mom always said don't burn any bridges. I followed her advice. It would have to be the right option and right place." 「我和任何人一样，我的选择是敞开的。」Thomas表示，「我的母亲说一定要留条 後路。我听从了她的意见，所以这将会是一个正确的选择。」 Thomas believes there are different positives in having a college program and being in the NBA. "They're both rewarding," he said. "In college, you can catch the kids at a young age. You get to shape and mold them with a bond as a family. You really have a chance to talk about their education, help them grow and mature and see them jump off the diving board and into the pool and swim, so to speak. "In the NBA, you don't get to deal with players at that level. It's really a business. You have to do more or less straddle the line and deal with the emotions of players." 面对大学篮球和NBA有什麽不同时，微笑刺客笑着说道：「NBA中更多地参入了生意的 情分，很多时候并不能完全由着自己的想法来，你要或多或少的去揣摩球员的情绪和 一些事情的底线。而大学篮球就有些不一样了，你可以有更多的机会和孩子们聊天， 你可以去帮助他们成长，可以去和他们像家人一样相处。」 Thomas felt he wasn't given enough time to succeed at Florida International. With the players he had coming in this season and the ones returning from last season's 8-21 team, Thomas believed the program was on the rise. "College sports finds itself in a transition right now," Thomas said. "There's old-school guys who know it takes time to build and do things right. Then, there's the new school that probably thinks you can get it done in 2-3 years. That's not how it goes. If I can find the right people with the right program, I'm confident I can put together a good college program." Thomas also realized people were going to continue to knock him for his failures. "When you have had a lot of success, when you do have a failure, people like to point that one failure a lot," Thomas said. "That just comes with the territory. It's no different than being one of the top programs. It's no different than at a Notre Dame, a Michigan, an Indiana. "Even Coach (Bobby) Knight and Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski), they have people who love them and they definitely have their detractors. At the end of the day, they've won more than they've lost. At the end of the day, I've won more than I've lost." Thomas 还表示他清楚地知道目前还有不少人因为他之前的失败来不断地抨击他。 「当你取得一些成功和遭遇一些失败的时候，人们总是会指责那些失败。」Thomas 说道，「这些都是很平常的事情。就像老K教练和莱特教练一样，他们也会有很多 人喜欢，可也会遭到不少人的批评。可是到最後，他们赢得的尊重要比批评多很多。」 原文来源：http://ppt.cc/ANGi 翻译来源：http://sports.163.com/12/0526/13/82EDKH9O00051CA1.html -- ∥ ◣ =◥"◥’． ∵ ◆∥ ●/ \● ●23︽ SS ∕0S ＜９＞ ∥ Ι﹨◤ ◥ ＿ ◤ ◥ ∥ ８ ◤︽21 ◢◤\ ◣ /●\ ● ● ∥ ●╱ ∥◤●◣ ﹍◣∥◤￣╲∥＜╱∥◤￣╲ ▼‵､λ﹀▼ ﹨● ●\●∥◆◇ ● ∥＜９ ∥∥◣∥ ●/ ∥╱ ∥◣● ─-.╳ ︶- ● 44 ● <２ 17∥ ╲７>∥ ∥∥ ∥ 16 ∥ ╲ <20◥∥▲ ρ\ `, ▲ ∞ <85 ∥ ∥∥ /| ∥ ∥ ∥∥ ∥◣∥╱∥ ╲╲/|◢∥ ◥ | ◢ ∥ ∥ |/ --
