LA Lakers coach Phil Jackson has admitted that he would love to coach the NBA Champions for another season.

"The organization is obviously behind what I want to do and they've extended that offer for continuing here, so that is all positive," Jackson told ESPN Chicago.

"It's just covering that hurdle. And, some of that's just getting old, and the wear and tear of the game, and the amount of flying that you do."

"You know," added the Zen Master. "This 82-game pilgrimage that you go through before the playoffs even begin and the wear and tear and if that's a necessary part or if this is the time now to step back, and regard that as accomplishments done and sit back in the rocker and enjoy watching guys do this."
