Golden State fires Mark Jackson

[Birdman]

USAToday sports are reporting that Mark Jackson has been fired..not surprising as there been a lot of turmoil around him

[Quetzalcoatl]

Hopefully he rejoins Jeff van Gundy and Breeny Breen, I really liked the 3 of them together.  I don't think he should coach, anyway

[gpap]

He'll probably get another coaching gig somewhere.

[Who]

That sucks. I look forward to seeing him on another team. He did a really good job with GSW.

Oh man I hope not.

Captain catchphrase was grating.

Yeah the whole situation spiraling to this is nuts.

Hopefully Jackson learns from this and tamps down the circus/paranoia.

What exactly are you referring to? Something happen between him and the team? I know he fired Scalabrine but that's all I know.

Fired Scalabrine in front of the players in an attempt to assert his power.
Sniping with Andrew Bogut over his injury status
Then sniping with the media over his own sniping with Bogut blaming it all on the media
Erman was recording conversations because he was concerned over his own job status, he had prior to the firing had his parking space moved midseason and also been pushed aside apparently by Jackson.
Getting upset at Jerry West being around the team
He wouldn't talk to many people in the FO at all, wouldn't talk to his co-workers in effect.

That's just the stuff that's come out publicly, multiple reporters have indicated there was a whole lot more going on. Supposedly only Knicks/Clippers were ever on similar levels of dysfunction.

Plus multiple "we're not supposed to be here" every time the team had any adversity during the season.

I don't know anything so I can't say Jackson wasn't impossible to work with.  Given the history of the Warriors franchise, however, I find it hard to believe that any problems were entirely of Jackson's doing.  I mean, Jackson just led them to their 3rd and 4th winning records in the last 20 years.

Shocker.

... I mean, the part where he lasted that long.

[Birdman]

Think Kevin McHale will get the ax? I hope not cause he has done a good job

[notthebowler]

Hopefully he rejoins Jeff van Gundy and Breeny Breen, I really liked the 3 of them together.  I don't think he should coach, anyway

Oh man I hope not.

Captain catchphrase was grating.

"Hand down, man down!"  Maybe he should have listened to his own cliche's.

[Vox_Populi]

I thought they'd at least see what he could do with a healthy roster. Oh, well.

Curious how this will affect Curry.

[get_banners]

its odd that this move has been predicted by so many, given jackson's success. maybe he was a nightmare to work with. he certainly got results...though its not like he didn't have talent. curious to hear what comes out about this in the coming days and weeks. almost as odd as karl not coming back to denver.

[RebusRankin]

Too bad, did a good job.
