TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Eleven games into his new career, as the head coach of a small-time college basketball program in south Florida, Isiah Thomas remains undaunted. His team, Florida International University, has been forced to play small at a frenetic pace with plenty of ball screens because of injuries.
The Golden Panthers (3-8) went 1-1 in their recent trips to Florida’s state capital, beating Florida A&M, 61-56, last Thursday night and doubling back here 48 hours later from their Miami campus and losing to Florida State, 82-62, Sunday.
Charismatic and handsomely dressed, Thomas remains a master of accentuating the positive. He readily admits his team, primarily a mesh of junior-college transfers and freshmen, is a work in progress. However, he likes what he’s seeing and is genuinely having a good time watching his players grow and mature.
