Phil Jackson


 

Philip Douglas Jackson (a.k.a. The Zen Master ), is an American NBA basketball coach and former NBA player, born September 17, 1945 in Deer Lodge, Montana.

Coaching

In the following years, he mainly coached in lower-level leagues, notably the Continental Basketball Association and the BSN of Puerto Rico. While in the CBA, he won his first coaching championship, leading the Albany Patroons to their first CBA title. He regularly sought an NBA job, but was invariably turned down; during his playing years, he had acquired a reputation for being sympathetic to the counterculture, which may have scared off potential NBA employers.
