“I have no intention of coaching,” Jacoson said. “I am still recovering from multiple surgeries.”
During the press conference, Jackson said clearly that he has no intentions of returning to coaching. When the Lakers and Mike Brown get apart, Phil Jackson was to come for a third term in LA, but the organization changed its mind thereafter.
Jackson has declared it many times that he is not going to return for coaching, but Buss, who is engaged to Jackson, said the former Lakers coach still has “that need where he’s got to coach something.”
Phil said that the team will definitely do well under D’Antoni’s system.
“I don’t know how things are going to turn out,” Buss said about Jackson. “I just don’t think he’s done contributing yet. I think he’s got a lot to give.”
