"I've not made up my mind. Coaching is an option," Jackson told The Associated Press in an interview Saturday, adding that while he had set no deadline for his decision, "by mid-June or by early June, people need to have answers." The former Los Angeles Lakers coach said he wouldn't necessarily mind taking on a rebuilding job. "The two teams I've been with have been relatively set. I was in Chicago as an assistant coach when they were rebuilding. The Lakers had to practically rebuild all the time. The changes we went through in the first three championships with the organization were probably more than we went through in Chicago." Jackson said there were obvious advantages if he were to return to the Lakers, but also some disadvantages. "I have a family here. I have a relationship with Jeannie [Buss]. There are a lot of positive things. There's also a big negative about not being here last year and the experience that led to the change with the Lakers. There is also that overall feeling." Although Jackson had some critical comments about Kobe Bryant in a book he wrote after leaving Los Angeles, he said Saturday he'd have no difficulty working with the Lakers star.</div> Source At least this puts to rest a lot of rumors flying around.
good, I hope that he announces soon cuz in most situations the longer you wait the more negative feelings will come like "should i be coach of the lakers again?" instead of "i will be coach of lakers again", kinda like approaching a girl, wait over 3 seconds to take a first step and your mind is filled with negative feelings, the sooner he announces the better our chances, this is business though so i guess that a few months would be like a few seconds!
