Phil Jackson and Steve Mills met with Frank Vogel last week in Los Angeles about the New York Knicks' head coaching vacancy.

Vogel, Kurt Rambis and David Blatt are the Knicks' top-3 candidates.

Jackson's meeting with Vogel also raises further questions to whether James Dolan is opposed to signing off on Jackson's preferred choice, Rambis.

Mills had contacted Vogel's agent the day after the Pacers parted ways with him.

Jackson has not reached out to Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson or Patrick Ewing.
