Dennis Rodman wants Phil Jackson to know he’s ready to coach the Knicks
Dennis Rodman is apparently trying to get into coaching.
The basketball Hall of Famer tweeted to Knicks President Phil Jackson and the team’s official Twitter account to lobby for the now-vacant head coaching position.
Hey @PhilJackson11 @nyknicks, I have a pretty decent resume on the court and I can coach; and I'm available. Call me. @nba

They may go way back to the 1990s Bulls days, but we’re assuming Phil won’t be falling over himself to make that phone call. Just a guess.
Rodman, of course, has zero coaching experience. He is, however, unquestionably available, and he probably would make the Knicks the preferred NBA team in North Korea, though we are guessing that’s not a market the league is trying to win over. The Knicks fired Derek Fisher on Monday morning and undoubtedly have a whole list of qualified candidates in the works, a list that in all likelihood doesn’t include Rodman.
