Fisher, a 17-year NBA veteran, has no coaching experience at any level. He will now be tasked with working directly with Knicks president Phil Jackson. The two had a working relationship with the Los Angeles Lakers for a number of years in the past. It’s likely that Fisher will now implement Jackson’s triangle offense.
