The home/away dynamic would seem to be tough. Think lack of consistency may effect the team or their perception of who is the coach. But Just don't think Phil has it in him to commit to coaching anyway, even if it is part time. With Rambis as coach, his involvement has instantly gone up. In essense he is basically on the bench now anyway. Why commit to more?
Would rather he focus on the front office and get us some more help.
surprised you didn't manage to throw melo's name in there

Why would I? What does Phil possibly coaching the Knicks have to do with Melo?
Don't be so obsessed with the loser.
does home games for phil mean when we visit the clippers and lakers?
I'll throw Melo's name in! Melo says your hotstove rumor is baloney! Hate him some more.

How could you hate the King of New York?
again I ask. What happens if we are good at home and suck on the road? Do we fire our road idiot and hire a new one?

Melo squashed the rumor. Keep up.

GM melo?
I like the rumour and would find it quite entertaining. Love when sh1t changes.
Perhaps the rumor is more in line that If Rambis is the man next year, Phil will be more hands on when the team is in Westchester than giving Derek room (Rope to hand himself)to grow.
Rambis likely won't have an ego to stroke as did Fish.
Melo has little say things such as these. If he had his way, Woodson would still be coaching the Knicks.
All I wanna know is what did Phil say? He has no intrest coaching. ESPN lives to slander only the Knicks. 29 other teams.... leave us alone! All these made up stories. If they left us alone we could exist peacefully and just focus on team building

this is the full context of the quote from the article:
There's even talk Jackson could offer to coach home games next season, with Rambis coaching the road games. It's an offer the late Lakers owner Jerry Buss once flatly rejected, but it could be an interesting compromise to hiring Rambis as the head coach next season.
Literally nothing else. All this after Phil has repeatedly said he is done with coaching.
The author just threw shit on a wall and it (predicatively) stuck. ChuckBuck looked at it like a new shiney object and was panting heavily to create a thread on it.
I guess a writer in Ramona Shelburne with multiple pro basketball writers associations awards, a Masters from Stanford, and long time columnist for the LA sports scene is to be easily discredited.
She just makes shyt up! Dammit, why I take the bait...

She is smart enough to lure in gullible readers who will run with it. Yes, Chuck, she is a very smart writer with cred. And you fell for it hook, line and sinker!
Whats more important is what did you think about the subject? Did you think it was valid? When PHil proposed it to Buss what was the team like? What was his health like? Was Phil under contract? Was the lakers trying to bring him back at the time? Keep him from leaving? Was this phils response to coming back as a compromise?
Personally I don't think its a good idea, but more important I don't think its really on the table. I think If Rambis stays Phil will be more influential in the coaching process. IM ok with that.
More important to the success of the team is some upgrades at some positions.
If Thibs were to be coach I can see Phil not being so prevalent and perhaps might speak to his departure after next year. Phil would have put the team in good hands and still changed the culture in his three years on the job.
We are in year two.
