Phil Jackson spoke about old coaching nemeses, posses, and even the Knicks

Knicks kingfish Phil Jackson spoke to Jackie MacMullan Monday. In two-and-a-half years captaining the good ship Knicks, Jackson has been mostly hush-hush after decades as outspoken head coach; when he has opened up, it’s often via Twitter or Charley Rosen. But Phil said a number of things to MacMullan we need to look deeply into so we can once and for all answer the question whose answer could change in a couple of months anyway: Is Jackson, as architect, out of touch? Or is he onto something? Or on something? The early returns: yes, yes, and probably.
