NEW YORK -- Steve Kerr has rejected Phil Jackson's approach to coach the New York Knicks.
Sources stated that Kerr is looking to other opportunities around the League and informed Jackson a few days ago that he wishes to stay on the west coast because of his family.
"My family is settled on this side of the country," Kerr told ESPN.com yesterday in a conference call, "I am humbled that Phil came calling for me first. I just cannot relocate right now." It is said that Kerr is in no rush to becoming a Head Coach and is currently enjoying his current position as an analyst.
Jackson could not be reached for comment but it is widely expected that the Knicks intend to wait until after the NBA Finals to be able to speak to Thunder point guard Derek Fisher about the opening. The Knicks will not speak to Denver's Brian Shaw, Clippers' Tyronn Lue, nor Luke Walton.
