SOUNDBITE: (English) Phil Jackson, New York Knicks President
"In January of this year in which he (Steve Kerr) wanted to talk about styles of coaching - it was a purely basketball, philosophical discussion. And we meet in a very similar space about coaching in a lot of ways. I know philosophically we have a strong connection. Whether he's able to take a job like this, I don't know. I will get into a conversation with him later this month and talk to him about it and see see where he's at as far as his desire to coach and about this direction."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Phil Jackson, New York Knicks President
"We're looking for a leader. Someone that can bring out the best in players, someone that has the capability of encouraging a staff to meet the needs that players have so that they philosophically buy in to what we're doing."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Phil Jackson, New York Knicks President
"New York I think demands a personality, a person the fans can believe in. A person that has some confidence, has the charismatic appeal. And I think has a forward looking idea about the game."
