ESPN: Phil Jackson signs with Knicks

ESPN By Ramona Shelburne and Chris Broussard
NEW YORK -- Phil Jackson officially signed on to become president of the New York Knicks after a lunch meeting with team officials Friday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Knicks would only confirm that a "major announcement" involving team executives was scheduled.

The move had been expected for several days, with Knicks star Carmelo Anthony saying earlier in the week that he was told Jackson would be "coming on board" with the team. Jackson will likely have complete control of the team's basketball operations.
