This is not about his performance as a coach, ya should've realized this by now. There's some dirt going on behind the scenes in Golden State.
Smart move by the Warriors. Jackson is a dumber, more arrogant version of McHale. Both are good motivators and coaches players wanna play for, but both are pretty poor as far as X's and O's go. The difference is McHale realized this and defers most of those responsibilities to his quality assistants, while Jackson ignored his weaknesses and ran off any assistants that dared disagree with him. Personally, I'd have fired him the second that he showed the only thing he could think of to stop a team from bombing 3's on him is to intentionally foul the rest of the game.
Reminds me of the Adelman firing with us. Coach overachieves during his tenure yet the organization still doesn't appreciate it. Wonder if they'll replace Jackson with a idiot coach like we did
#1 The Warriors believed they were title contenders, and Jackson preached to ownership they were as well. #3 The Rockets players love McHale every bit as much as Jackson's players do. #4 No, Jackson got fired for porking a chick while married, then being extorted... alienating his own assistant coaches, getting into arguments with the owner of his team and having the overall maturity of a 12 year old.
Some ****ty team please hire him. I dont want to hear him call games. He is incredibly annoying. Even though he was a decent coach, he is the kind of arrogant prick and a jackass that makes life miserable for everyone else at the workplace. He needs to shed his attitude and grow up.
Off the top of my head? #1 The FBI extortion investigated case, where "Reverend" Jackson was porking another chick while married and while being a Reverend (He reminds everyone he is a God fearing man... when he isn't porking). #2 The reassignment of Brian Scalabrine as an assistant coach..... the weird firing of his top assistant and his inability to get along with his own coaching staff. #3 His comments about Jason Collins after he came out. #4 His complete lack of ability to have a civil conversation with his GM. #5 His "fit" after not getting a raise and extension from the owner.
1) Believing your a contender and having the roster to be one are 2 very different things. Irrelevant 2) I'm not sure if all the Rockets love Mchale. I hadn't heard any of our stars vouch for Mchale like Curry did for Jackson. Jackson is a far better coach than Mchale anyway 3) The Warriors had assistants secretly recording conversations. They wanted Jackson out and we're trying to set him up. His assistants we're also fighting amongst each other more than Jackson. It was a bad environment in that organization. The Warriors are a mess and used Jackson as a scapegoat. Again, his players loved him and they played hard every night for him, unlike Mchale. I'd take Jackson in Houston any day
Agree except for one point. The bigger difference is that the Warriors front office actually believes that coaching matters, whereas our front office actually believes that coaching is irrelevant and that its "players that win games, not coaches."
Kidd demoted frank. Banning west is a rumor. What other bs story is there. Most racist nba owners teams suck for decades. Let that marinate in your head for a couple of days.
You're making some good points, so I should not just pick out one I disagree with, but it internet, people suppose get argue. I listen to interviews weekly with Warriors players, and I listen to all the stuff posted here about the Rox, and I just don't think it's equivalent love, at all. Maybe Harden wouldn't show much love for anyone, but at the end of these playoffs, Harden seemed to actively be disrespecting Milk Hair. Most or all of the warriors players would run through a wall for the guy, for better or worse. I ultimately think, just like your other great points show, that the Warriors brass felt they had no other choice, just in the interest of professionalism. But it will hurt their win total, IMHO.
Jackson had no integrity. Preacher who has an affair with a stripper? How can you be a leader if you have no integrity? A lot of coaches have probably had affairs, but they didn't put themselves out there as preachers.
