I'd be a little wary of 'the reports' right now.
Guys like Steve Broussard are going to do everything they can to not look like idiots that jumped the gun. Now they're going to try to paint a narrative of Phil Jackson just wanting way too much and that's what submarined it.
There's no way Jackson refused to coach for any away games and there's most certainly no way he said he wouldn't coach playoff games. At worse he would've asked for the travel schedule he had when he had his hip surgery which still had him coaching 70(ish) games.
Beware Broussard and the rest that have some ass to cover right now.
