If he's really letting his personal issues, and like MDogg said his "daddy issues" drag this team down this story should be all over ESPN but I have heard a word about it.

Actually it was mentioned several times by Stephen A Smith on ESPN First Take - he said Jim Buss and Jerry Buss don't like Phil Jackson because of "personal reasons"  :)

ohh

Sccit:
the problem is internal issues...everyone knew phil jackson was the best man for the job, but theres bad blood between him and jim buss (aka the son of the lakers owner and current man in charge of hirings within the organization). also, phil apparently wanted some power over basketball related decisions, as well as a hefty contract, and jim probably didn't like the sound of submitting that much power + money to someone who he's been known to bump heads with.
