MSG Network’s Al Trautwig interviewed Knicks president Phil Jackson during the first quarter of Tuesday night’s game against the Wizards about the firing of coach Derek Fisher Monday and other matters.
Jackson said he does not expect an overnight change in the struggling team, adding the short-term goal is simply to “get ourselves going. We’ve been having trouble activating ourselves early in the ballgame.”
What advice had he given to interim coach Kurt Rambis? “Well, just basically get them back on the court and get them playing together.”
Trautwig asked Jackson what point he was trying to get across in the essay he posted on Twitter earlier Tuesday about what he looks for in a coach.
