...The trouble with Phil

"The Zen Master" can't decide to poop, or get off the pot! For most people, writing a book that bashes Shaq and Kobe would be career suicide if you're a coach in the NBA. Not so with Phil Jackson who just signed again after a year off. Phil was wooed back to The Lakers to pull them out of the slump they're in. God forbid The Lakers have a bad year! Time to bring in the big guns! Now I haven't read Phil's book, but at least he doesn't have to worry about Shaq anymore unless they play Miami. Jackson is in for one tough ride when he comes back. When the dust settles and the smoke clears, he's still got a lot of explaining to do to a lot of people. The Coach is wishy washy.
