I do think Phil wants to coach and the only way he truly has a voice is thru Rambis. This kind of reminds me of the Knicks with the 15th spot. Wroten was available forever, would hint at a knick signing on twitter and then finally was signed.

If Phil hires Vogel I think he still gets the same level of access. Vogel is on record as being a fan of Phil and wanting to get his thinking. He even hired Brian Shaw just to try and get some of that Mojo. I think Phil is just too old to actually coach but he'd like to be able to help from time to time. I see nothing wrong with that.

I seriously doubt Vogel wants Phil breathing down his neck, second guessing him, etc. How many people want their boss doing that at work? The only reason Rambis puts up with it is because he had zero chance of getting a head coaching job anywhere besides a team Phil Jackson runs.

Relax, Rambis didn't come here to be a head coach. He was hired to be Fish's assistant.

Regarding Vogel, he might be ok for year or two have the greatest coach in the history of the NBA mentor him might not be the same as ones boss breathing down their necks.....

Contrary to what H1AND1 said, Vogel has openly expressed that he wanted to learn from Phil. So much so that he settled for Brian Shaw just to get some of his knowledge. Vogel looks up to Phil.
