The Rangers are about to see what has made Mike Sullivan an elite leader everywhere he’s been
NY Post
In December 2015, Mike Sullivan walked into the locker room in Pittsburgh to address a struggling Penguins team for the first time since he replaced Mike Johnston as head coach.
The club had gone 15-10-3 to start the 2014-15 season, which was six years removed from its last Stanley Cup and unfolding on the heels of an embarrassing five-game, first-round exit to none other than the New York Rangers the campaign prior.
Holdovers from the 2009 championship team in that room wanted to build a dynasty. The closest the Penguins had come to another title was the 2013 conference final, when they were swept by the Bruins in four games. They had lost three seven-game series over the years and were looking to restore their championship pedigree.
Sullivan, who was promoted from his head coaching post with the team’s minor league affiliate in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., came into that room with conviction from his first day.

The Knicks haven’t yet asked permission to interview Jason Kidd for their vacant coaching position. But if it ever gets to that point, the expectation is the Mavericks front office will decline the request, a league source told The Post.
It seems so obvious. A team scouts a player and makes the determination to select him based on what he was able to accomplish at the college level. The thinking goes like this: He did it there and we think he can do it here, for us, at the NFL level.

The fight spilled into the crowd, and then the drinks started spilling too.
He had just delivered what was — may still be — the forever money performance in the Nets’ NBA history. Jason Kidd had played 51 minutes, 38 seconds of a 120-109 double overtime win against the Pacers, do-or-die Game 5, 2002 first round at the Meadowlands. Reggie Miller had made another of his gut-punch shots to extend the game, a 35-footer that made Tyrese Haliburton’s Game 1 prayer against the Knicks seem like a routine layup.
