Many Knicks fans have been anxious for Phil Jackson to return from retirement and take over the Knicks coaching position. Â One major concern was his age and health but according to Jeanie Buss his girlfriend, he’s recovering quite well and will coach again. Â Read more after the jump.
“I agree with you [that Phil Jackson has the coaching gene & will coach again one day in some capacity]. He’s got his energy back.  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.”
