Dolan Willing To Dish Out Big Bucks For Phil

[Knicks Analyst]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It's going to take a "yachtload" of money to convince Phil Jackson to become coach of the floundering Knicks, but Cablevision CEO James Dolan has given team president Isiah Thomas the go-ahead to spend whatever it takes.

If there is a bidding war for Jackson this summer, Dolan said Thomas will be under no financial restrictions. "It's Isiah's decision," Dolan said in his annual interview with the Knicks' beat writers late Friday evening in Sacramento.

"If the question you're asking me is, 'Does he have the resources and support? Do you want him to do a contract with Phil Jackson?' Yes. Or with any other coach he selects. He will not be limited by the resources."</div>

Here's hoping he doesn't want the job. I'd throw up if I saw the Knicks running the triangle offense.
