I like it. It's a good one. Quick speed round questions on the next. How often do you think is Phil Jackson is on the East Coast and the West Coast during the NBA season, what would be the quick breakdown ratio percentages?
Speaker 1
I think it's like 90-10 that he's in New York. He's not in LA that often. He's taking a couple of quick trips out there. He doesn't travel with the team on the road, but he's at every home. I don't think, I could be wrong. I don't think Bill missed any home games. And he's got a place here. I think he's spending much more time in New
Speaker 2
York. How many college games do you think Phil Jackson scouted over the last five
Speaker 1
months? In person, I'm going to guess maybe
Speaker 2
zero. That's a good sign for the
Speaker 1
next. Well, you do have a staff. Steve Mills is the day-to-day GM, Bill the President. You've got a whole staff of scouts and personnel folks. Yeah, maybe not ideal, but it also doesn't mean he couldn't be watching these guys on TV, watching tape, watching film.
Speaker 2
Okay, he's a major. That's what I do. We're dead even. I'm dead even with the guy running the next. Derek Fisher fired too soon, too late, or just the right time.
Speaker 1
Ooh, too soon. Too soon. I think that once you've made that investment, it was a leap, it was a reach, but you made that reach. So you at least owe it to him and to yourself to let him at least finish out a second season and see if he could have turned things around. Their concerns with him obviously went beyond just the day-to-day stuff or beyond the
Speaker 2
record, but it felt like too soon.
