Newsday doesn't think the Garden's attempt to smear her is going anywhere:
MSG firing Anucha air ball
Madison Square Garden and Garden dirt-diggers are working overtime on Anucha Browne Sanders, the former Knicks executive who filed a sexual- harassment suit against Isiah Thomas. And they couldn't fill a thimble with what they've dug up so far.
We have learned -- assuming the dirt-diggers and dishers are dead on -- that Browne Sanders once scolded Marcus Camby for refusing to meet a VIP.
That she told Clarence Weatherspoon (who wasn't named after an eating utensil for nothing) that he might consider dropping a few pounds.
We learned she requested a full page for herself in the media guide.
We learned she once kept Willis Reed waiting for 30 minutes in the reception area.
My sources tell me this is only the beginning.
It hasn't come out yet, but my people say she didn't always floss as a child.
And she routinely doesn't curb her dog.
And she once took call- waiting while talking to Walt Frazier.
All this is B.S., of course, which is only a half-step below what the dirt-diggers have gathered on Browne Sanders. If that.
We're eight days in, and they've got nothing on Nucha, as she was called as an all-everything basketballer at Northwestern.
There's another sexual harassment case pending against Madison Square Garden, this by the former captain of the Ranger City Dancers, Courtney Prince. The EEOC has already investigated and found probable cause that she was harassed:

What's Missing in 'NY Times' Coverage of Sex Harrassment Case?
A Times hockey writer allegedly plays a role in a high-profile lawsuit, as revealed by another New York daily this week. Why has the Times reported on the case -- but not mentioned its own employee's relation to it?
The Garden has a long history of sexual harassment complaints by female employees, according to the New York Daily News:
Sex woes sprout at garden
News probe uncovers history of complaints
The Madison Square Garden empire is a hotbed of sexual harassment, with pervasive complaints from temporary bar staff to senior managers, a Daily News investigation has found.
Past and present female employees described an overwhelming "frat boy" culture that seemingly permeates every tier of the huge organization, according to interviews and legal papers.
Though a sign posted at the employee entrance to the Garden on W. 33rd St. promises "fair and respectful treatment" to all personnel, female employees told The News of instances where they work surrounded by sexist jokes, bikini-clad pinups and even a blowup doll.
Others described much more aggressive and frightening abuse — incidents stunningly similar to harassment claims made by Anucha Browne Sanders, the Knicks' former vice president of marketing, and former Rangers City Skater Courtney Prince.
Isiah Thomas treated the CBA owners and personnel like crap while he was running that league into bankruptcy:

CBA owners: Isiah nasty,
incompetent behind closed doors
