Ron Harper won championships playing for Phil Jackson and now he sees himself winning rings for him as a coach. The New York Post is reporting that the former NBA guard says he expects to get an interview for the Knicks head job as well.
Harper said he has texted with Jackson a few times since he got the Knicks job.
“I would expect so,” Harper said of interviewing for a coaching job. “A few guys are expecting to hear from him. We’re in a wait-and-see mode. Whatever he needs me to do, I will do. He knows that.”
Harper, now lives in Wayne, N.J. and works part-time for the NBA doing overseas camps and also helps run a basketball program called Overtime Sports in New Jersey.
“One thing Phil wants to do is teach what he knows and teach the triangle,” Harper said. “I know it like the back of my hand, inside out, and he knows I love the game.”
