The University of North Dakota is bestowing Phil Jackson with an honorary doctorate.

A 1967 graduate of UND, with emphasis in religion, philosophy and psychology, Jackson will receive his doctorate from the school's College of Arts and Sciences.

"It's an honor to receive this doctorate,'' Jackson said, in a prepared statement. "We have put this on hold for a few years and this year works out just right. UND had hoped it would be at a commencement, but a convocation for orientation seems like the right thing.'
