Phil Jackson was back to Williston for his high school reunion. If memory serves me right it was his 40th reunion. The class social was held at a local motel. I was not in his class but was in the building during the event. He stood in the lobby of the motel signing autographs for all adults and children who had heard he was there.
The Williston HS BB auditorium is named Phil Jackson Field House
He also has a street named after him, Phil Jackson Way a major bypass, where there is a billboard with his photo stating “Boyhood Home of Phil Jackson.
All of course done with his permission.
He has given money to the Coyote Foundation
