Apparently no one knows what type of guy Phil Jackson if Mark Jackson and JVG keep being brought up in the conversation. They just don't get basketball.
What I can say tho is - under any normal James Dolan underachieving type of year - Mark Jackson would be coach right now. But not under Phil boy. This isn't our normal lackluster franchise move we make every 3-4 years

Hah! So Phil Jackson is our coach? The man really won't settle for anything but the triangle. This should be interesting. I wonder how he'll start to feel midway through the season when he's traveled to around 20 away games.

Baby steps, g...it's only training camp
I want him to coach too, but I doubt it'll happen. Maybe if we can't find a suitable coach, but again, I doubt it.

Maybe if this bum roster shows him something in camp
We've been focused on these dudes contracts expiring, but maybe we'll also get better production from some of then being on a contract year.

What am I hearing about this Luke Walton business?
Hey Phil, hire yourself and call it a day. The end.

We still have the same players tho
Who were in a "system" that ignored strengths and magnified weakness, the exact opposite philosophy of the triangle

I couldn't even take that seriously. Dude is 34, imagine if he was coach and he'd have to disciple JR for some stupidityLuke Walton though? Throw it DOWN big man! Throw it DOWN!

Don't brush off Luke Walton so easily yet If Phil is really running training camp he might pull a Pat Riley and hire some no name video guy to be coach and just puppeteer him like that.

He hasn't been that for the Knicks for years. His name gets mentioned to an insane degree as if there's even been a rumor he's returning to coach.

Not saying young Walton can't coach, who knows? I will say this, this team needs an established coach that knows what he's doing and can put them in their place. Walton will NOT get the respect of this team. He's 34. Nobody is going to respect him on this squad. Phil should just coach. There is no other coach out there that can do it.

I love how people automatically assume this is Dolan's working. Not everyone wants to come to NY, man.

He knows the triangle and he isn't doing anything right now, never really was as a player.

I don't see a bad side to this at all to even go the blame Dolan route when it's clear Phil is in charge. Aint nothing wrong with not giving Steve Kerr, a first time coach, 25-30 mil on a 5 year contract. Before we even get to the not wanting to come to NY. Son obviously used this opportunity to get paid the most by a team with a better roster that probably won't do any better than it already has while remaining close to family.
It's more like not everybody is built for NY. That pressure, media spot light, along with the challenge of this roster was probably too much for a guy like Steve Kerr. Just going off his playing career he's just been the guy in the right place that gets the pass, not the hungry create a play and impose his will type. Thinking type, just made the smart move.
