Lakers head coach Phil Jackson is leaning towards retirement according to reports that surfaced on Wednesday.
"I'm leaning towards retiring but I have not made up my mind," Jackson said.
The Lakers just won another NBA Championship title this past week in a Game 7 showdown against the Boston Celtics that was the most watched NBA Finals game since the Michael Jordan era.
The 64-year-old coach told Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss that he planned on completing a series of medical tests and evaluations by Thursday. He then plans to drive out to his summer home in Flathead Lake, Mont., on Friday, spend a week checking in on the results of those tests and make his final decision a week from Friday.
"I'll take a week after the medical tests are done," Jackson said. "Some of it's about health, some of it's about that's the way I feel right now. I've had vacillating feelings about it. It's hard not to feel like coming back when you're speaking to these players and have an opportunity to coach a team that's this good. But, it's what I feel like right now and what I feel like in the process that's gone through. It's just something I'm going to sit with and feel out and after I'm through talking about all the rest of it with the doctors, then I'll make the final decision."
