Phil Jackson
Phil Jackson coached the Bulls from 1989 to 1998. Jackson ran the famous Triangle offense and dubbed the 1997-98 season the “Last Dance” because he was told by then Bulls general manager Jerry Krause that he would not be the team’s head coach after that year.
Jackson then won five NBA championships in 11 years coaching the Lakers and had an unsuccessful stint as president of the Knicks from 2014-2017. Now he is out of the NBA.
