Phil Jackson Said What?

I was in collusion with every other Lakers fan when we found out that that statement came out of Phil Jackson’s mouth. Phil Jackson is in collusion with Kobe Bryant? This isn’t good for the Lakers organization. It’s never good when the head coach of the league’s own personal soap opera is in cahoots with the star of The Young and the Restless that may or may not want to showcase his talents somewhere else.

Some coaches are secure and some should be more concerned about job security than Kevin McHale.  Some teams have a vacant spot in their organization that will require filling as soon as possible and some are ready to change.  Zach Harper goes over which team needs what coach and who the best candidates are out there right now.

Larry Brown has been looked at as a failure and a vagabond in this league is always looking forward to the next job. Well, he has been a vagabond as he joins his 9th team in the NBA, but he has been far from a failure as a NBA coach. He's been cast with a bad stigma on his coaching prowess and ability.
Zach Harper explains why this is a good and misunderstood move for the Bobcats.
