The scapegoat has been vindicated.

Not trying to downplay Luke Walton's coaching, as no one can sail the ship to a 13-0 start

[LikeMike]

OR this just shows how bad Jackson was. Anybody can win with this team except him.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

It's probably Bill. When you listen to him talk about his son, you know some incest happened. Beyond creepy.

teams dont start out as champions. it was a new squad that needed time and the owners didnt wanna give mark jackson enough time for curry to become what he is right now

Naaaaaa.....Jackson doesn't get enough credit for what he did as these players grew.

I may have missed it, but didn't hear or read one GSW player acknowledge Jackson after winning last years title.

if so....that's lame.

This fraud wanted credit for being some great coach knowing this team was elite. He's just mad he can't take credit for something that was great without him.

are you talking about kerr or jackson

[Akrazotile]

its not steve kerrs fingerprints though

head coaches are just vocal leaders. the x's and o's, research, adjustments, game plans, statistical analysis and other forms of complex coaching are done by assistants

walton, kerr, jackson = "oh guys keep it up! play hard! here we go! pass the ball! get open! tough it out! hustle back!"

thats all it is... thats all it ever is

phil wasnt phil without tex winter running the offense and guys like brian shaw keeping track of everything while kareem worked with gasol and bynum during practice..

coaching is a team game.. never about 1 guy.


the 1 guy is a scapegoat and guy to point a finger at. after theyre fired the team tries harder to show it wasnt them

If you listened to Steve Kerr at TNT and Mark Jackson at ESPN, it was clear that Kerr actually understands and can articulate technical things about the game. He probably knows how to balance lineups better, draw-up game plans, bring new ideas to his players attention etc. All Mark Jack says during broadcasts is "hands down mans down" and "mama there goes that man" and "they need to do a better. job. of gettin to the basketball."

Teams are GENERALLY what they are, regardless of the coach. A bad team is gonna be bad regardless. A good team is gonna be good regardless. But a coach can make the difference between bad or REALLY bad, good or REALLY good, etc.

It's pretty clear that Kerr knows what he's doing as a coach. It's pretty clear that Jackson wasn't all that sure.

kerrs smarter than jackson i'l admit that

but stan vangundy is smarter than doc rivers. and only one of them has an nba championship to their name


allot of the time its just the players. and the coach is just along for the ride while the assistants do most of the work

this seems like one of those situations

I agree. A lot of coaches look better than they are because of circumstance and vice versa.

I still think Kerr is a very good coach. Last year his adjustments in the playoffs were all money. And it's not a given that any coach would have made them, because every year we see lots of bitching about coaches who can't adjust in the playoffs.

Obviously the Warriors have a great roster and that's the BIGGEST factor in their success. But I also think Kerr's impact is above that of a replacement level coach.

That is pretty much what all leaders do... Does a CEO crunch numbers in excel every day? A coach provides direction and decision making with data from his assistants and analysts.
