It would appear that Knicks head coach Derek Fisher has borrowed a few tricks from his former coach, Phil Jackson. That's probably a good idea, for a couple of reasons:
- Phil Jackson is currently Fisher's boss.
- I hear Jackson was plum good at this here coachin' business back in his day.
And if you're going to coach the Zen way, it only makes sense to ply your players with ample reading material. That is exactly what Fisher has been doing, according to Chris Herring.
Jackson was famous for handing out books to his players, tailored specifically for their needs.
