thinking that I might not have been here to see him" Aguiar held off announcing his dorf asked Jackson back for MVP title another year with or without He is the top of his Michael” Reinsdorf said Scottie Pippen But Jackson game still athow he's always treatment until he was given exactly “I would be foolish declined and said he Wednesday to hire somebody without feeling confident that this is somebody that Michael could play for” Could and would are two dif- '! ferent things however Jordan said he won’t play for a college coach or a young coach That leaves out Iowa State's Tim Floyd a buddy of general manager Jerry Krause and the apparent to replace Jackson Floyd whom Jordan derisively referred to as “Pink” during the season has no NBA coaching experience Current NBA assistants Rick front-runn- er Carlisle Ron Rothstein Paul Silas and Scott Skiles also have interv iewed for the job “I don’t know Tim Floyd I don’t have anything against Tim Floyd" Jordan said “To do that is like starting out all over again and that’s what I don't want to do He may want to do that But I don't" When it comes down to it there's really only one guy Jordan wants: Jackson Sure he'd play for former North Carolina coach Dean Smith but Smith coaching the Bulls is an even slimmer pos- planned to take a year off from basketball “I’m pretty sure they made him an offer” Jordan said “But you kick a guy out at the beginning of the season and you offer him a contract at the end of the season it doesn't show much loyalty That's hard to accept I'm probably sure I wouldn't accept the contract either “Phil's not holding me hostage" Jordan added “I’m not trying to hold Jerry Reinsdorf hostage Whatever decisions they make they make I don't control them They make their own decisions 1 make my own decisions If it doesn't coincide with each other so be it" As a free agent Jordan could play for another team but he said that's not an option Even if Jack-so- n comes back a year from now and coaches somewhere else Jordan said he wouldn't play anywhere but Chicago wanted to leave “I’ll be happy either playing or not playing” he said “I'm not going to be unhappy if I don't play the game of basketball I’ve got enough memories I've got enough championships to be happy” clearance to play That came last Friday he said “We have been in constant com- munication with Louie and his physicians
