Is Phil finished after next season?

Phil Jackson plans to coach the Lakers through the end of next season and then retire, he told Magic Johnson today in an interview to be aired during the national telecast of Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs at Staples Center.

"One more year after this one with the Lakers," Jackson said. "Dr. Buss has insinuated that he would like me to coach longer, but I said, 'Let's just do one year at a time right now.' So that's what we're doing."

Jackson's contract runs through the 2009-10 season. He turns 64 next September.

JVG said a couple of days ago he had no interest in coaching a team in 2009. This could be his opportunity. Is he waiting for it?

Misleading title, JVG is not linked to the report.

Phil Jackson is like Mike, don't ever trust what he is saying. If the lakers won the championship during this periods he will change his mind again!

LA would drive him insane. Don't you remember how tired he looked and sounded all the time? I bet the media would hate him too haha. now that you mention it, that does sound pretty interesting...

Seriously misleading title. First, JVG is not even mentioned. Second, nothing about him "quitting" in 2010. His contract runs through 09-10, not that he is quitting after his contract is up. He said one year at a time.

Not even a story here. Just some random quote.
