![]() Barring a late-season collapse, Warriors coach Mark Jackson will guide Golden State to its second straight playoff berth. But if the team doesn’t advance at least to the second round, there’s a distinct chance he could be a coaching free agent and available if new president Phil Jackson wants him.
Rumors he has worn out his welcome with Golden State owner Joe Lacob abound because of Jackson’ s headstrong personality. The Warriors sit in sixth place in the West, but are only two games out of the ninth seed at 45-28 after losing to the Knicks, 89-84, Sunday night. Jackson, in his third season as head coach after a successful stint as a national broadcaster, has guided the Warriors to consecutive 45-win seasons for the first time since the mid-1970s. Stephen Curry swears by Jackson and made over-the-top supportive remarks about him in recent days — remarks Carmelo Anthony hasn’t come close to uttering about lame duck Mike Woodson. But Jackson is viewed in some circles as a lame duck. He has one year left on his pact but there have been no contract-extension talks, and tension reportedly exists between him and the front office. His latest tiff with assistant coach Brian Scalabrine, whom he demoted to work with the D-League team, created something of a national stir. Scalabrine apparently wanted too much say in matters. http://nypost.com/2014/03/31/warriors-coach-could-being-eyeing-move-to-knicks/
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.
