Lenny hasn't shown he can win these days
By Marc Stein
Age is not the issue. Really. That's not my resistance to Lenny Wilkens, because the sixtysomething set represents the best of NBA coaching.
My problem: The coach with the most wins in league history already has proven that he can win no more.
Sorry. There's no way the New York Knicks can present Wilkens, at 66, as their answer to Memphis bringing back Hubie Brown, or the Florida Marlins turning to Jack McKeon, or the Washington Redskins resurrecting Joe Gibbs.
Brooklyn native? Yes.
Returning sage? Back from oblivion to impart his wisdom on a foundering franchise? No.
Not Lenny.
