Thibs or Blatt. Atkinson, Udoka or Walton if Phil is wanting to start something new.

If, like last time, all of Phil's first tier choices say no, I wouldn't blame them for hiring Mark Jackson. The discussion (argument) over the Warriors isn't really whether he was a terrible coach ( he was terrible at some things, good at others) but whether he was good enough to get them over the hump. The Warriors gambled on Kerr and it paid off.

Mark Jackson is probably in the upper middle tier of coaches overall, however. He's terrible at making adjustments, calling plays, and his insistence on iso-ball is laughably outdated, but he does get players to commit to defense and the warriors entire attitude changed when he became coach.... mainly, instead of letting adversity in a game snowball out of control, they learned to work through it. He might be a good choice for a pure shyt team trying to become mediocre :jjjjj:

I'm :yeshrug:on Mark Jackson...Can't be any worse than Fisher...


but it boggles the mind how this franchise continues to be the laughingstock of the league when they play in the same division as the 76ers...:snoop:

Ewing should keep his distance.New York fans already hold a grudge against him for not winning a title.If he sucks as the head coach it will only increase the negative feelings some knicks fans have for him.

He's not a terrible coach, he's a stubborn middle of the road coach who is good on the motivational side and needs assistants to call plays. Question is, who is the best available coach around?

He's paranoid of his own assistants and generally seems like a hard guy to work with so there's no hope.

Dude is on record being paranoid. So lets have him work for Dolan - a guy who hired people to watch Mike Woodson :dead:

They thought Fish was bad in Brooklyn, wait til Mark Jackson is calling Isos for Sasha and nailing the only capable defenders on the team to the bench.

The audacity of anyone to call Mark a good coach when he didn't play Draymond and Bogut :heh: Green is looking like the PF of the future and Mark was running plays for a decrepit David Lee.
