Mitch Kupchak Squashes the Part-Time Coaching Idea
SLAM Online —
... According to the Laker GM, Phil Jackson (should he return next season) will be on the bench pretty much the entire time: “In a nutshell, ain’t gonna happen. Kupchak labeled the approach impractical and unrealistic, apparently kicked around more ‘pie in the sky’ than ’serious discussion’ (and definitely not with the G.M. around to offer his two cents).
