Could the man most believed was favorite to become the next coach in New York replace the man who actually became coach of the Knicks?

According to the East Valley Tribune, Mark Jackson will be one of the first people interviewed for the Phoenix Suns vacant coaching position after Mike D'Antoni left for Broadway.

?It?s a great job. That team is ready to win right now,? Jackson told the Tribune Monday. ?It?s very intriguing. Anyone who got that job would consider himself lucky.?

Of the eight teams still playing in the postseason, Kerr said he?s already asked three general managers for permission to speak with staff members.
