    Your right, it isn't them!

    Hint: The 1st time I fought at the Garden I beat an unbeaten prospect from New York.

    Did he coach the Knicks?
    Was he a head coach in the NBA?

    No, he didn't coach the Knicks but was an NBA Coach for 3 different teams for 16 seasons.

    This one has been around for months. Anyone want to give it a try?

    Vince Fratello, father of Mike is the correct answer I believe.

    Finally, we have a winner!

    I came up with this question when I received a phone call from Mike Fratello's wife, asking me about her father-in-law. I knew Vince as he lived in Hackensack, New Jersey.

    pretty cool. honestly i had no idea about vince. i googled nba coach for 16 years after you gave the hint and fratello popped up. then i searched fratello in boxrec and only two showed up. you could say i cheated. i like fratello as a broadcaster on the nba games but he's not fooling anyone with his hair. :)
