Though Kerr has never been a coach, he has been mentioned as a candidate for Mike Woodson's old job since Jackson was hired in March.

DeMar DeRozan scored 30 points, Jonas Valanciunas had 15 points and 14 rebounds for his second straight playoff double-double and the Raptors beat the Nets 100-95.
Unless Phil Jackson can make the Knicks a "loaded" team, a club that's ready to win it all, he won't even think of coaching. And that's not going to happen.
