The Los Angeles Lakers' commitment to sign the mercurial Ron Artest made retaining Phil Jackson even more imperative than it already was.

And Jackson's status is no longer an unknown, thanks to a statement on the Lakers' Web site Friday afternoon.

Jackson issued a statement confirming that he will be back to complete the final season of his contract, following an ESPN.com report earlier Friday that an announcement was forthcoming early next week.

"After consulting with Lakers team internist Dr. John Moe, I feel confident that I can gainfully pursue an NBA season with another long playoff postseason," Jackson said in the statement. "All things point to go!"

Good to know he'll be back to coach this team to a repeat title.

(jk about the repeat of course.....)

Phil doesn't do 'jack' on the sidelines. Watch a Kobe & watch as Kobe huddles that team up and does it all.
