    Same, but I refuse to believe it's true. I'll be in denial until the ink dries.

      Since nothing seems to be happening seems like the only explanation is he's waiting on Walton, and when Walton decides to go to LA or stay in Golden State he'll go with Rambis.

        It will definitely be Rambis. He isn't even really talking to other candidates. I also doubt that he would be having him help out in the off season school of triangle philosophies if he wasn't going to come back

          Phil wants a puppet, and Rambis fits the bill.

            I genuinely think we're going to end up with Blatt.
            I hope so.

              This is the most telling part of the article, and with that tidbit alone, Herring gives us more information than Isola or Berman ever will in this coaching search.
              I could give more info than those two clowns.

              But yes you're right, it was a short article but it actually had some relevant info.

              I do think Phil is open to not running the triangle so long as the coach is running a system built on sharing and movement. He is more about the culture of team, in my opinion.

              I don't think he considers other coaches outside of his circle because he doesn't believe they preach that philosophy. But Blatt does, in his own way.

              My concern is what Phil really wants. Does he want to coach via extension or have a coach that follows his philosophy?

                I'm all aboard the Blatt train right now. Anything other than Rambis.

                  Tommy Dee thinks Phil wants Blatt, don't think he's very reliable though:

                    If I don't hear at least one rumor of a Vogel-Blatt pairing to coach the Knicks, I will lose it as a Knicks fan.

                    Either have Vogel head coach and Blatt handle the offensive duties or Blatt head coach and Vogel handle defense.

                    I'm not saying it's realistic. I'm not saying it absolutely has to happen.

                    I'm saying someone next to Phil Jackson should at least suggest it. And some writer better at least lie that Jackson is interviewing both men to do just that.

                      I hope your optimism is right. I read that phillop is on vacation right now so the coach search is on hold

                        I'm at the point where I'm wondering, since Vogel's issue is offense and Phil is so insistent on the triangle, to hire Vogel to run things and let ohdeargodwhy Rambis run the offense. Any chance Phil would let that happen?

                          I only wonder if Vogel would.

                            What coaching search?

                            It's nice to know Phil is on vacation while the franchise has fallen back to laughingstock status.

                              Trust me, I think his coaching search is a joke. It's going to be Rambis. I think he is just making it seem like he is giving other coaches a chance or Dolan really is blocking it. Which I think we doomed either way. I would love to be wrong on this though

                                Yep, he's on vacation because he's already made up his mind to go with Rambis. I'm sure it's a done deal behind the scenes at this point.
