According to ESPN's Ramona Shelbourne, Phil and Rambis might form a Knicks coaching tag team of sorts for the 2016-2017 season. Ideally, we'd all want Phil to coach the team single handedly since he put this team together, but 50% of Phil is better than no Phil on the sidelines I guess. Also, if he actually commits to this, free agency could a whole lot rosier...his name still has high value as a head coach.

Thoughts from UK land?

The home/away dynamic would seem to be tough. Think lack of consistency may effect the team or their perception of who is the coach. But Just don't think Phil has it in him to commit to coaching anyway, even if it is part time. With Rambis as coach, his involvement has instantly gone up. In essense he is basically on the bench now anyway. Why commit to more?

Would rather he focus on the front office and get us some more help.

Why would I? What does Phil possibly coaching the Knicks have to do with Melo?

Don't be so obsessed with the loser.

Perhaps the rumor is more in line that If Rambis is the man next year, Phil will be more hands on when the team is in Westchester than giving Derek room (Rope to hand himself)to grow.
Rambis likely won't have an ego to stroke as did Fish.

Melo has little say things such as these. If he had his way, Woodson would still be coaching the Knicks.

All I wanna know is what did Phil say? He has no intrest coaching. ESPN lives to slander only the Knicks. 29 other teams.... leave us alone! All these made up stories. If they left us alone we could exist peacefully and just focus on team building

this is the full context of the quote from the article:

There's even talk Jackson could offer to coach home games next season, with Rambis coaching the road games. It's an offer the late Lakers owner Jerry Buss once flatly rejected, but it could be an interesting compromise to hiring Rambis as the head coach next season.

Literally nothing else. All this after Phil has repeatedly said he is done with coaching.

The author just threw **** on a wall and it (predicatively) stuck. ChuckBuck looked at it like a new shiney object and was panting heavily to create a thread on it.

I guess a writer in Ramona Shelburne with multiple pro basketball writers associations awards, a Masters from Stanford, and long time columnist for the LA sports scene is to be easily discredited.

She just makes shyt up! Dammit, why I take the bait...
