Jim Dolan on Tuesday addressed the status of the New York Knicks' search for a new head coach and approach heading into free agency.
Dolan stated Phil Jackson continues to have final say on the Knicks' decisions.
"I made a commitment to Phil that he was going to run it," Dolan said during a radio interview. "Unless he asks me to help, it's his to run.
"Phil asked me not to tell anybody this but I'm going to tell you," Dolan said. "For my birthday, my family gave me a T-shirt and it says only two words on it -- it says, 'Ask Phil.' That's it. I have not asked him about the coaching search on purpose. I have not asked him about it. I just told him I'm here for you if you need me. If you don't need me, that's fine, too. I got lots to do."
When asked about the Knicks' head coaching search, Dolan said, "I have no idea who he's talking to" and that Jackson has to "check back with me" when he starts talking money."
