Mark Jackson Hired as Warriors Coach!

[Rekindled]

“After an extensive search and a great deal of consideration, we have come to the conclusion that Mark Jackson is the best coach for this team,” said Warriors’ General Manager Larry Riley. “He will bring a youthful and fresh approach to our team and the fact that he enjoyed a stellar playing career, where he served most of that time as the leader of some very successful teams, will prove invaluable in the long run. We were looking for a coach with leadership ability and a strong personality and believe Mark possesses those qualities. He’s very well respected in NBA circles, is a consummate professional and his knowledge and background will be an incredible asset for our team and organization.”

Hopefully quits before the playoffs and rejoins Mike Breen. :bowdown:

.....during the timeout........

David Lee "So Coach, should we switch to the pick and roll?"

Coach "That's getting it done!!!"

Monta Ellis "Yeah.....I mean, what about defense? Should we try the zone?"

Coach "Mama there goes that man!!!"

Stephen Curry "Coach, you are just spouting catchphrases!!!"

Coach "Now that's a grown man move!!!"

David Lee "Never thought I'd want Nelson back......":facepalm

[1987_Lakers]

Jackson won't lost long as a coach. He will be back with Breen & Van Gundy in 2 years.

[ace23]

He will make Steph Curry a BAD MAN.

HAND DOWN, MAN DOWN!!!!


to this day, i still don't know what that means......seriously.
He stole it from a boxing term... Meaning that if you don't put your hands up (hand down) you're gonna get knocked out (man down). :oldlol: So in basketball it basically means the same. If you don't put your hands up in the shooters face (hand down) then he'll knock the shot down easily (man down).

And to answer your next question, yes, I googled it. :cheers:

[G-train]

I think we will be surprised.

Commentary far from equals coaching.

Some fantastic coaches are terrible commentators and vice versa.

Thank you, because I have been trying to figure out what exactly "Hand down, man down" means for a while now. It's never made sense but it's a phrase Jackson used a ton.

David Lee "Never thought I'd want Nelson back......":facepalmSeriously.

He's going to be a "cornball motivational coach" with mediocre X's & O's who doesn't really even truly motivate his own players in a significant way. He'll probably hang his hat publicly on some bogus moral claims of fathering them, when in reality he's a phony they won't respect. God forbid he takes that same group and tries to make them a defensive team. I can't see this going well for Mark Jackson. He's not a serious or intelligent man.

[Brujesino]

I have to rethink my avy.Also we will probably end up trading Monta Ellis since Jerry West and Mark Jackson are Curry fans:facepalm

I don't know. You can't really base commentating on coaching because it's not the same thing. I doubt Mike Brown, Kevin McHale, etc... are gonna say anything close to the same things they say on TV for entertainment purposes. They might have some of the same concepts/philosophies but they're not gonna sit there and make catch phrases and gimmicks.

Now who is gonna fight with JVG when he makes random ass observations about basketball

[InspiredLebowski]

Can't wait for their first close game. "Jax, what was the call there on that final possession?" "I just gave it to my best player and told everyone else get out the way."

[Bigsmoke]

Now thats not good defense.

Excuse me, Ellis have a meeting with the rim!

no more hearing mark jackson thank god!!!!!

[insidehoops]

Meanwhile, Brian Shaw and Patrick Ewing continue to be assistant coaches with years of experience

[PP34Deuce]

Jackson is going to toughen the team up but make sure he gets great assistants

[tommy3]

Wonder who joins the Breen-JVG duo now

[LA_Showtime]

I'm sorely going to miss Jackson and Van Gundy's rants. McHale was a hell of an announcer too.

[lilbeastnani]

Breen is so wishy washy as an announcer, so everytime Breen/Van Gundy have paired (without Jackson), JVG makes his usual outlandish statements and Breen just kind of laughs or doesn't give much of an objection. Whereas MJ actually makes it interesting and funny by calling him out. And the former coach/player dynamic they have going on is also interesting. Gonna miss that duo, he's the one who makes JVG bearable.

[Noob Saibot]

"MAMA! THERE GOES THAT COACH!!!"

[O_City_Thunder]

This should be very interesting. :confusedshrug:

Congrats Mark Jackson

in 2 yrs he'll be fired and back in ESPN book it.

HAND DOWN, MAN DOWN!!!!








to this day, i still don't know what that means......seriously.

how bout hand rub / man up :confusedshrug:

[Jasper]

1) On a side note JVG will be paid double Jackson is being paid , and will become the assistant coach :oldlol:

2) Other news Shaw hits top 10 as bench bytch asS to Kobe

3) Other news Jackson finds regret after taking on job... realizing he will look like JVG in a couple years.... Ask's Warriors if there is a clause to vacate position like Nellie did.

4) Larry Brown eye's bench job , after seeing #1. :milton

[Balla_Status]

mama, there goes that man!

Glad I Don't have to listen to his moronic announcing any more!

[GOBB]

:oldlol: as if anyone here really gives a crap about the Warriors to ponder Mark Jacksons lack of experience vs coaches that have some. Lettuce be reality for won hour.

[researcher]

Give him the team and get out of his way, I can see the entertainment value going up for Golden State

[NuggetsFan]

Can just imagine the epic GIFs that will be made when teams go off against GS. He'll be 3 feet out on the floor yelling "that's a grown man's move" after somebody on his team get's in a poster :lol

In all seriousness probably silly to pretend to know how he'll coach off what he says during broadcasts. Not like ESPN is paying him to break down the game and be boring. Job is to call the game with some style and try and bring entertainment to it.

Hope he does well. Actually liked him calling games. Comments were so forced seemed funny to me.

[B]

Seriously.

God forbid he takes that same group and tries to make them a defensive team. I can't see this going well for Mark Jackson. He's not a serious or intelligent man.They'll bring in an X's and O's guy to sit real close to him

[ace23]

Wow @ all the hate in this thread. This man was a very good PG back in the day. Warriors have not been relevant in years. I can see him turning this team around.

[trig]

Toronto hires Regie Miller and detroit hires Cwebb

[FinishHim!]

Wow @ all the hate in this thread. This man was a very good PG back in the day. Warriors have not been relevant in years. I can see him turning this team around.
Yeah. I don't get why people are calling him unintelligent either. You can really gather that just by listening to someones color commentary? If we were to go off of that, I think it would be unanimous that JVG was a complete moron as a coach but we all know that's not the case.

[Marv_Albert]

Man the commentry espn etc are losing some good peeps

[Noof]

Hand up, man up

[Ronin]

This is a very curious choice.

[G-train]

Meanwhile, Brian Shaw and Patrick Ewing continue to be assistant coaches with years of experience

They dont come across as strong personalities.

[Lakers Legend#32]

This is addition by subtraction for ESPN. Could Mike Breem get a coaching job too, please?

[IGOTGAME]

The fact that people can repeat several of Mark Jackson's catchphrases and laugh about them means he was doing a GOOD job for ESPN. People just look for reasons to hate on Mark Jackson.

[bdreason]

Terrible hire. I thought new ownership was going to bring in a serious coach. :facepalm


I guarantee you Larry Ellison (the billionare who was supposed to own the team) doesn't hire a Rookie coach.

[tomtucker]

hmm, he was not too bad with espn, not a loudmouth ..... down to earth, hope they just stick with 2 commentators now...........3 is a fukking crowd anyway

[Dbrog]

OMG DOUBLE WIN!! No more horrible commentary AND allows me to fully dislike the already terrible Warrior franchise :applause: :rockon: :pimp:

[Hopper15]

Thank God Mike Malone is coming aboard. I guarantee he'll be taking over as interim in two years.

[billyhoe]

Good luck 2 mark, a well deserving honor for a great basketball mind . I hope everything goes well for him , too bad for the great breen - jacson -van gandi team. I hope they will bring someone else that is has entertaining as jacson was :

[billyhoe]

Mike bream is a god damn first class *****. It's just so funny to see him talked to mark and u can see that they came from two completely different world's. One from were normal folks come from that like watching ball , blue color people. The other guy acts like 1946 and talks like he is watching a ****ing figure skating show. " ho gally , what a play " or " man that was some extracurricular activity down in the court ". Man I got no problem with him been white , but dude freshen your rotine a little bit.

[Harison]

Mama there goes my team
:roll:

[RidonKs]

Jackson won't lost long as a coach. He will be back with Breen & Van Gundy in 2 years.

[Irish]

Perhaps he will stop calling JVG 'Coach' when he inevitably rejoins the commentary seat.

[strifed169]

lol this thread is going places

[bagelred]

Stickying a thread kills the thread. Don't the moderators know this?

Unsticky the thread and more people will see it.

[stephanieg]

Golden State, your sacrifice this day will never be forgotten.

[boozehound]

yeah, I think this is a terrible hire. Not sure why jackson keeps getting consideration for head coaching jobs. Oh well, what do I care, its the warriors.

[MELOgamaniac]

I'm suprised no1 has posted Mark jackson other catchphrase not as common as mama there goes that man or hand down man down...but the

outta my way, "I got an appointment with the rim"

[JohnnySic]

Awesome! Dont have to listen to him anymore! Now if only Marv Albert would retire, we'd be in great shape!

[Rowe]

Awesome! Dont have to listen to him anymore! Now if only Marv Albert would retire, we'd be in great shape!

Hes signed on to do football games for CBS.

:facepalm

[MELOgamaniac]

Bring back Bill Walton...i want comparisons of basketball to the romantic era ..and layups that have not been rivaled in the history of western civilization

[High Roller]

Soooo happy that he can't commentate anymore :applause:

[Shepseskaf]

Seriously.

He's going to be a "cornball motivational coach" with mediocre X's & O's who doesn't really even truly motivate his own players in a significant way.

So says a jack@ss posting in a basketball forum. Do you know how ridiculous your statement is?

I'd be willing to bet that you never watched Mark Jackson as a player. He was a true 'coach on the floor' and one of the best assist facilitators in league history -- in fact he's at #3, right behind Kidd and John Stockton.

So, he knows his 'X's and O's', thank you very much. And he knows the game, inside and out. I'm pulling for him, and think that he'll do well.

[1~Gibson~1]

i dont think coaching is the problem. GS just needs better players :oldlol:

Also during the ESPN interview with Mark Jackson he was saying the teams owners last name wrong.

Joe Lacob is pronounced Lay-cub.He kept calling him la-cobe.
:facepalm

[joshwake]

I think we will be surprised.

Commentary far from equals coaching.

Some fantastic coaches are terrible commentators and vice versa.

I don't think he will suck based on his commentating, I think he is going to suck based on his poor leadership late in his career. Not a fan of the guy as a team leader at all. I don't think he will last over 2 yrs.

[Nastradamus]

Judging Jackson for how you feel about him as a broadcaster is retarded. He was a great leader as a player, he has a tough, old school, defensive mentality as a HC and he has a great understanding of the game offensively. He was a very cerebral PG. Played for some good coaches too.

[SinJackal]

I thought this was a joke thread when I first saw it and didn't even bother opening it, but I guess it really is true. :facepalm

Why would the Warriors do this? Seems like a desperate shake up move.

[greensmoke21]

mark jackson>>>>>>>>>>hubie brown in broadcasting

[Kujo]

I was honestly thinking the other day during game 3 when Mark Jackson would get a head coaching opportunity. He definitely seems like coaching material.

Inexperienced rookie head coaches have had a bad track record. We'll see how this works out.


Meanwhile, Brian Shaw and Patrick Ewing continue to be assistant coaches with years of experience

Shaw would have made more sense.

[G-train]

Really none of us know. We weren't in the interview to see his thoughts, strategies, credentials. None of us know him personally. None of us have been coached by him.
But I trust Jerry West's opinion over uneducated guesses based off commentating. JVG says stupider things and he was a good coach.

[hitmanyr2k]

Wow...I hadn't seen this thread at all and in the Heat/Mavs game thread I actually made the comment that I wished some scrub team would hire Mark Jackson as coach to get him off the mic :oldlol: THANK YOU Warriors :applause:

[gilalizard]

I think we will be surprised.

And considering his level of commentary, he can only do better as a coach.

HAND DOWN, MAN DOWN!!!!








to this day, i still don't know what that means......seriously.

It's a boxing term. When the opponent would keep his hands down then BOOM KO, goodnight! (hand down = man down) Jackson says it when the defender doesnt' put his hand up to contest a shot.

No hand in a good shooters face = easy basket = man down (for getting scored on)

:)

What about his poor leadership late in his career? Teams wanted nothing to do with him. He single handedly fragmented the Jazz locker room in the one season he was there.
