Although he's still dating Jeanie Buss, the Lakers' executive VP of business operations and daughter of owner Jerry Buss, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson may not be returning next season.

"Right now I would say it's a pretty slim chance that I'll be back coaching next year," Jackson said after the game with four of his children at his side. "I've had a lot of persuasion given to me by these kids. They were hoping I could win the 10th and retire. But maybe losing this one, this opportunity, is enough for me to say that it's time to give it up. Right now I'm not going to make that decision and give out that statement.''

Jackson's departure may be just the first of many in Los Angelas.
