The Lakers have replaced Phil Jackson with Rudy Tomjanovich, a hire they hope settles an organization reeling from Kobe Bryant's free agency and Shaquille O'Neal's trade demand.
A team spokesman confirmed Friday afternoon that the team had reached a verbal agreement with the former Houston Rocket coach, who is expected to sign a contract this morning and be introduced this afternoon at a news conference.
Tomjanovich was to board a flight for Los Angeles on Friday. But what, exactly, he was in store for he could not know.
