The presence of Stephon Marbury on the Nets' roster apparently has not solidified the shaky ground on which the beleaguered coach John Calipari is standing. According to an Eastern Conference official, the Nets have been in contact with Phil Jackson, the former Chicago Bulls coach, since the acquisition of Marbury became a possibility earlier this week.
Jackson, who retired last season after leading the Bulls to six National Basketball Association championships in eight years, is intrigued by the potential the Nets have with Marbury, Keith Van Horn, Kerry Kittles and Jayson Williams, according to the official.
Lewis Katz, the Nets' principal owner, could not be reached late tonight for comment on Jackson. But before the Nets' 100-93 overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers -- which Marbury watched from the sideline in street clothes -- he did not give his coach a vote of confidence when asked about televised reports Thursday night that Calipari was on the verge of being fired.
