Dan Patrick: "If Laker fans feel like Phil Jackson's involvement in the coaching search is automatically going to guarantee a great hire, you might want to think again. They should have hired Ty Lue, and this wouldn't have been an issue. Frank Vogel helped them win a championship, and he was sent packing. There are certain people who do certain things really well, and Phil was able to coach superstars, not hire people."
