Hall of Fame coach wasn't interested in New York, Orlando openings

Hall of Fame coach Phil Jackson may not be done coaching in the NBA. But if he does come back, it won't be with the New York Knicks.Jackson, who coached the Chicago Bulls to six NBA Championships and the Los Angeles Lakers to five more, told HBO's "Real Sports" that he would not have considered the head coaching position with the Knicks even if he had been offered."I wasn't gonna take that job; that's fore sure," Jackson said in an interview scheduled to air Tuesday. "They don't fit together well. (Amare) Stoudemire doesn't fit well with Carmelo (Anthony). Stoudemire's a really good player, but he's gotta play in a certain system and a way."Carmelo has to be a better passer. And the ball can't stop every time it hits his hands. They need to have someone come in that can kinda blend that group together."The Knicks removed the interim tag from Mike Woodson on May 27 and signed him to a reported three-year deal. Woodson led the Knicks to an 18-6 regular season record and seventh seed in the Eastern conference after taking over for Mike D'Antoni, who stepped down on March 14.Jackson was rumored to be a candidate for the opening at the end of the year, but said the Knicks did not contact him before signing Woodson to the contract extension.Jackson also did not have interest in the Orlando Magic job opening, saying it was too far from his Montana home.The Magic currently are in search of a new head coach and general manager after Stan Van Gundy and Otis Smith were let go.A second round draft pick in 1967, Jackson played 11 seasons with the Knicks and was a part of the 1970 and 1973 NBA Championship teams.
