Re: BREAKING NEWS: Mark Jackson Hired as Warriors Coach
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.
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

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.
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.

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.
