Pete Carroll tweets premature jubilation over Phil Jackson's return to NBA

On Tuesday, Pete Carroll seemed to be the first person to break the story about Phil Jackson's return to the NBA. One problem. The Seattle coach's excited tweet was just a little premature.

Unless Carroll was sitting in on the talks between Knicks owner James Dolan and 11-time NBA Championship coach, that's all it was — talk.

Although The New York Post reported Jackson gave the Knicks a verbal commitment on Saturday, the team still will not comment on Jackson's status.

Congrats to Phil Jackson on his new role with the Knicks! It's good to have him back in the NBA!

But, to Carroll's credit, it looks like a done deal.
