Source says Phil's interested in joining Blazers (non-coach)

[miggs]

Phil Jackson is interested in joining the Blazers in a non-coaching role:

Senior writer for The Oregonian in Portland, covering my 12th season of the Trail Blazers.

“Phil would be interested in talking about a possible role in the organization,’’ the source close to Jackson said. “My sense is there is a lot Phil can offer by being there, be it handling players, advising trade scenarios, managing coaching staff ... I think he would be a tremendous advisor to the owner.’’

Allen has not responded to an interview request by The Oregonian.

Yea I know but then I don't know why this report just came out today, that's why I posted it. He declined to be their head coach but this report entails he's interested in an advisor type of position, sort of like Jerry West I think.
