In a recent interview, Jerry Stackhouse stated he would like to become an NBA coach. "I'd like to coach at the pro level," Stackhouse said. "I had some dialogue with Atlanta last summer... I met with Phil [Jackson] a couple weeks ago about possibly about doing something with their staff... [But] I think [Jackson] is still figuring it out. He doesn't know who the head coach is going to be, but I think after that is settled, there could be some realistic possibilities." While Stack would like to eventually be a head coach, he wouldn't mind paying his dues as an assistant, even at the college or high school level.
