In 2014, Phil Jackson was introduced as the President of the New York Knicks. Buss noted that it was clear Jackson wanted to get back to work, and he has too sharp of a basketball mind to sit in a rocking chair. The move did not affect their relationship and Buss and Jackson remain in a bicoastal relationship.
