A 22-year-old college student was busted for trying to sell "Fire Isiah" T-shirts outside Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.

Ivan Cash says he was hauled away in handcuffs, taken to the Midtown South Precinct, fingerprinted and held in a cell for three hours - until the Knicks lost to the Sacramento Kings, 107-97. Then he was given a ticket and released.

Cash was at 33rd St. and Seventh Ave., waiting for a pal who has a vendor's license, when the cops swooped in, he said.

He was charged with "intent to sell."

A police spokesman confirmed the arrest Wednesday night but had no details.

Cash said more than 100 frustrated Knicks fans had bought his T-shirts - at $20 a pop - at the last three Knicks home games.

The graphic design student at the State University of New York at Geneseo makes the shirts himself.

Around a photo of beleaguered Knicks coach Isiah Thomas, black lettering on the bright orange shirts delivers the message, "Don't hate the player or the game. Hate the coach."

"The police came up to me at every game before and asked me what I was doing," said Cash. "I told them. They shrugged, and that was that."

But not Wednesday night.

Cash figures the arrest was meant "to put a lid on all the demands by fans for a new coach."

Lame Knicks executives probably asked for his arrest.
