Phil Jackson told SheridanHoops.com he has "no intention of ever coaching again."
Jackson is reportedly the Nets' top choice for their coaching vacancy, although the team appears content to play out the season under interim P.J. Carlesimo. While this may throw some cold water on those reports, no one should take the quote as a guarantee. Jackson and his camp have never been shy about using public denials as a way to strengthen their negotiating power. We have a feeling Phil's name will pop back up once the Nets ramp up their coaching search.
