It's OFFICIAL...no, the Lakers are not begging to have the "Zen Master" back as head coach, unfortunately! :( But Phil Jackson's life is nicely moving along since his "retirement" as an NBA coach. In fact, his life is SO good that he FINALLY decided to pop the question to his girlfriend of over 11 years, Jeanie Buss (daughter of Lakers owner, Dr. Jerry Buss).

This announcement was CONFIRMED by Jeanie herself on her Twitter with THIS photo...

The caption read along with it:

"Twitter family - Phil finally gave me that ring I wanted!  :-)"

Talk about ICE ICE, BABY! Apparently she's been wearing the ring since Christmas, but barely decided to "mention" it last night! The couple are very excited for the pending nuptials (this one will be Phil's 3rd), but have no official date set. CONGRATS to the HAPPY couple!
