James L. Dolan Biography

James L. Dolan is one of the most popular and richest Businessman who was born on May 11, 1955 in New York, United States.

After winning the Stanley Cup in 1994, the Rangers saw a decline in performance in the wake of Dolan’s increased role in managing the team and failed to make the playoffs from the 1997–98 season until the 2004–05 NHL lockout, despite leading the league in payroll in most of those years. This was the longest playoff drought in the franchise’s history, in part due to questionable, expensive free-agent signings, such as Eric Lindros, Pavel Bure, and Theo Fleury. Despite fan and media calls for the team’s general manager Glen Sather to be fired for the organization’s shortcomings, Sather was retained. However, since the resolution of the NHL lockout in 2005, Dolan has allowed Sather to rebuild from the ground up, which has led to a revival of the club and the organization, culminating with a trip to the Eastern Conference finals in 2012, their first since 1997. However, when Dolan spoke of the team’s Stanley Cup chances in January 2012, Rangers head coach John Tortorella took issue with his remarks. “I have my owner up here talking about a Stanley Cup. That’s a bunch of bullshit,” Tortorella said in response. “We need to take it one game at a time.”

In 1994, Paramount Communications, the owner of Madison Square Garden, was acquired by Viacom, who in turn sold the MSG properties to Cablevision and ITT Corporation, which had 50% ownership each. ITT sold its share to Cablevision three years later.

James Lawrence Dolan (born May 11, 1955) is an American businessman who serves as executive chairman and CEO of The Madison Square Garden Company and executive chairman of MSG Networks. As the companies’ chairman, Dolan oversees all operations within the company and also supervises day-to-day operations of its professional sports teams, the New York Knicks, New York Rangers, and New York Liberty, as well as their regional sports networks, which include MSG Network and MSG Plus. Dolan previously served as CEO of Cablevision until its sale in June 2016.

In 1999, Dolan was given an increased role in managing Cablevision’s sports properties and is now the primary manager of these assets. The teams under his domain include most notably the National Basketball Association’s New York Knicks, the National Hockey League’s New York Rangers, the Women’s National Basketball Association’s New York Liberty, and the American Hockey League’s Hartford Wolf Pack.

Dolan rarely speaks with members of the media and communicates to the press through released statements or in interviews with MSG Network. In 2000, Dolan instituted media training for all Garden employees who might deal with the press and instituted an ironclad rule against team personnel criticizing others in the organization via the media. Under Dolan’s watch MSG implemented controversial media policies limiting access to players. Some of these measures included prohibiting reporters and Knicks’ beat writers from interviewing players without an MSG public relations official present, forbidding one-on-one interviews, and excommunicating writers who write articles critical of the organization. The policies also forbid the MSG Network from being critical of the Knicks and the Rangers, regardless of their performance. Such measures were not standard practice for other NBA teams. In addition, the Knicks did not make their medical staff available to the press. In 2004, longtime broadcaster Marv Albert’s contract was not renewed by MSG Network, allegedly because of his criticism of the Knicks’ play.

Dolan is of Irish descent. After originally pursuing a career in music, Dolan eventually switched to a major in communications at SUNY New Paltz and began working for Cablevision in various capacities including sales before eventually being dispatched to Cleveland by his father to manage the launching of a sports radio station. In 1995, he was made CEO of Cablevision. Throughout his early adult life, Dolan battled drug and alcohol problems and was reportedly known for having a volatile temper. In 1993, he went to drug rehabilitation at the Hazelden clinic in Center City, Minnesota.

Other coaches that also had short-lived tenures as head coaches of the Knicks include Don Chaney (2001–2003) and Lenny Wilkens (2003–2005). Like Thomas and Brown, they remained on the Knicks’ payroll following their departure from the bench due to multi-year contracts signed with the owner (and in Chaney’s case, 2 separate contract extensions).

Like the Rangers, the Knicks performed abysmally in the early 2000s. Unlike the Rangers, they have yet to fully recover, which fans mostly blame on Dolan’s management missteps. Although the Knicks made the NBA Finals in 1999, they have not posted a winning season until the 2012–13 season. Furthermore, the Knicks had not made the playoffs from the 2003–04 season to the 2010–11 season, which both ended in first round four game sweeps for the Knicks. Dolan has come under fire from many Knicks’ fans for the team’s run of consecutive losing seasons from 2001–02 to 2009–10. Numerous media and informal fan polls, including a recent Sports Illustrated poll, have ranked Dolan the worst owner in the NBA. In 2007, NBA Commissioner David Stern criticized Dolan’s management of the Knicks, saying “they’re not a model of intelligent management.” One widely criticized decision was to give shooting guard Allan Houston a 6-year, $100 million maximum contract in 2001, when no other team had offered Houston more than $75 million. Houston retired due to injury after just four seasons and with over $40 million remaining on his contract.

In 2003, Dolan hired Isiah Thomas as Team President of Basketball Operations and General Manager to replace embattled executive Scott Layden. Thomas made aggressive moves to re-tool and upgrade the Knicks roster through trades, the NBA Draft, and free agency. Despite the talent Thomas imported, the team did not perform up to expectations and Thomas was often the target of the frustration of Knick fans; Dolan was also on the receiving end of the ire of Knicks’ fans for his commitment to Thomas in spite of Thomas’ sometimes questionable decisions.
