DENVER -- A source close to former Lakers coach Phil Jackson said yesterday that he won't coach this season and indicated the Knicks still are the leading contender for his services next season despite the Lakers' unexpected emergence as a bidder.

Having two very good coaches interested in your team is not bad, not ball at all.

Wow, I wonder who Jackson would do with this team. Going froma team with 2 of the top 5 players in the league, to another team with 2 of the top 5 players in the league, than to the Knicks?

No offense it is going to be a hard adjustment.

I wonder if he will be able to keep his "Zen"-ness.

Let the battle for Brown begin

Quote:

It's natural that Brown would want the Knicks' job. After all, he knew Red Holzman before Phil Jackson did. But if he has a choice between coaching Stephon Marbury or Bryant, he'd have to choose the latter, even if Tomjanovich called the team's 24-19 record, as of last Wednesday, "miraculous." Things are bad in L.A., compared to the Shaq-Kobe years. Lamar Odom isn't showing that he's a viable No. 2 option on a contending team. But the future in L.A. isn't nearly as bleak as it is in New York.

Shaq: I'd like to see Phil return

Quote:

Of course, Jackson is viewed by many as the leading contender for the Knicks' job, but O'Neal endorsed current coach Herb Williams as more than an interim coach. "Could [Jackson] come up here?" Shaq asked. "Probably. But I'd like to see Herb get a guaranteed contract so he could relax a little bit, and then everything could fall in place. Good guy."
