Isiah Thomas believes the best way he can fix the Knicks is by staying on the bench. And in the front office.

Thomas said Saturday that he has no plans to give up either position he has with the team which sits at 9-26. He has been the president for four years, and Madison Square Garden Chairman James Dolan also made him the coach after firing Larry Brown in June 2006.

And Thomas said he hasn't considered talking to Dolan about whether it's best for the team if he wears just one hat.

"I've never given it that thought. I only think about how fix it, how to make it right," Thomas said. "That's all my time and energy is focused on and until I do that, I'll be here trying to make it right."
