Phil Jackson is scheduled to be interviewed tonight as part of ABC’s coverage of Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs.

Jackson said last month that he would decide whether to return to coaching by mid-June, although he is not expected to announce his decision on ABC.

The interview will be the first public comments by Jackson since he spoke at a Beverly Hills fundraiser last month. The interview was arranged by Jackson’s agent, Todd Musburger, whose brother, Brent, is an ABC broadcaster.
