Jeanie Buss hints at Phil Jackson returning to coaching next year
It seems that Jackson is in good health, too:Rumors have been swirling for months about Phil Jackson and the Knicks - Jeanie Buss only but added fuel to the fire with some comments on the ?Mason and Ireland? show, according to HOOPSWORLD:
Jeanie Buss, who has been dating Jackson since 2001, added credence to the rumors during an interview with ?Mason and Ireland? on ESPN 710. She agreed with the hosts when they speculated that Jackson would return to the sideline in the near future.
?He?s got his energy back,? Buss said. ?As a matter of fact, I overheard him making plans to play tennis when he?s back in Montana with one of his friends. He hasn?t played tennis, I don?t think, in 8 years. The knee replacement really is one of those operations that has such a high success rate. It gets people back to riding their bikes or playing golf or playing tennis. It really is a miracle. It?s one of those things that because of Phil?s schedule he wasn?t able to take the time to get the surgery and do the rehab. Now he?s done it, and I do think he has his energy back. Now he?s going to spend his time? I don?t know. I?m happy for him, that he?s out of pain, after watching him suffer for the last few years.?
