    Can I get Phil Jackson as a coach?

    Is it possible for me to get Phil Jackson as the coach of the Lakers? Either through MyGM, or before starting MyGM?

    Also, is there a specific playbook I can use that runs the triangle? I know there's the in game way of doing it.

    Pardon the noob questions, any help is appreciated

      You can use the Triangle. The Knicks have triangle plays in their playbook, along with the 90s Bulls teams.

      You can't get PJax as coach, though. I even tried simming a bunch of seasons with the 72 Knicks (since he's on the roster) to see if he turns into a coach when he retires... He doesn't.

        Never tried this but if you put the '71-'72 Knicks version of Phil Jackson on free agency and maybe in the offseason he'll be available as a coach.

        Give him the mentor badge and give it a shot. I tried this way for you just now but he wasn't in the staff pool but I believe it's possible with this method (try giving him a hire rating maybe)

              lol yea for some reason the 90's Bulls teams are coached by some generic coach. I guess licensing? Which is odd since Phil's likeness as an NBA player is already in the game.

              Anyway I did this method in NBA 2k14 to get Steve Kerr as a Coach and it worked. I made the 90's Bulls version of him 40 years old and he was in the Assistant coaching pool after the first off season

                Tried putting a 49 year old Phil in MyLeague btw, still didn't turn into a coach in the first season. Which sucks. :/

                  Old thread, but here's a neat trick: Bring the '71 PJax into your league, then edit him to boost all his stats to max, give him all badges. Optionally you can change his age to make him a bit younger; I believe he starts at age 28, but you can make him age 22-23. Also make sure to edit his tendencies to reflect his stats (make him shoot more, rebound more, etc.).

                  Then sim roughly 10-15 seasons. Hopefully by then he'll have retired, and if you didn't adjust his age, it's all but guaranteed. He should have done enough throughout those years with the new stats to win loads of accolades, all-star appearances, and climb high enough in the record books to make the Hall of Fame as a player. Shortly thereafter, he should appear as a coaching option!

                    It usually (always?) takes 2 offseasons. Ive had a lot of success just making guys 40, maxing out their stats, watching them retire, then having them in the coaching pool in 2022.

                      I haven’t tried but I think, another way of doing it would be to see who the retired players that become eligible after the first off season are and then just go back and import Phil Jackson’s face for that player before he is eligible to coach. So maybe save right before coaches are available, simulate ahead, see who would be eligible and then go back to your saved files and switch who you want to be the coach for such player.
