Yesterday the sports world learned that the Knicks reached an agreement with Derek Fisher to become the team’s next coach. Well everyone in the organization has been pretty quite about it, but reporters caught Phil Jackson last night and asked him about Fisher — he had just two words in response. So how do you feel Knick fans?!?!
A press conference for the announcement is scheduled for later today. Hit the jump for details…
Via ESPN:
The two sides are in the process of finalizing a five-year, $25 million deal, according to Yahoo! Sports.
The Knicks have scheduled a news conference at 11:30 a.m. ET Tuesday to “make a major announcement.” After the news conference, Jackson will fly overseas Tuesday night for his son’s wedding, while Fisher is expected to attend Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals at Madison Square Garden Wednesday night.
Asked in a group of three reporters about hiring Fisher in the bowels of Madison Square Garden following the Rangers’ Stanley Cup finals game Monday night, Jackson said “Go Fish.”
