VanGundy would have been interesting but if we are being honest with ourselves VanGundy once quitmon the franchise, would be a coaching distraction, bait for the media plus he ran one of the most boring offenses in the world.

I like Jeff but Mark while a special passer/competitor isn’t very likable IMO.

Details seem to be murky but the NY Post article indicates that Mark Jackson was never signed... like they were still working on the contract. And part of that contract was travel with team as well as hotel stay with team. And that was a no-go when it got down to it.

So it was exactly that process still underway. That's the way I read it?

Actually, if they are replacing him with ANYBODY, I am happy.

Sorry Mark.

Same. Excited to hear Gus again

Hard to not agree there. I remember falling asleep several times. Wake up to an 88-81 victory.

I don’t get the hate for either guy and always thought both guys deserve more credit than they got, for their body of work as a Knick. Thought mark should’ve gotten a chance to coach here. Would t mind if van gundy was on thibs coaching staff.

But it’s all spilled milk now. Wish them both well and I thank them for their services as a Knick. Once a Knick always a Knick.

Jax did not get alomg with his staff and front office. He hid behind his religious intensity but with a mean spirit, has a some big tax issues usung his wifes church (was questionable) and did the adultery thing and was messy. Erman did the wrong thing for the right reasons. Jax really divided up gsw and had to go. He was seen as having a good teem but FO had really improved the roster. Kerr was a rookie coach and could not **** that up.

Nalod, you always do a great job regurgitating facts. But I rarely hear your perspectives, unless someone ask a direct question. Are you for or against Mark Jackson for being released on his day off.

What am I innacurate about?
Erman was fired than got a job 10 minutes later and has been so since.
Jax got canned and never got another gig.
The church? His messey affair while being a “holier than thou” dude? Tax evasion?
The fact Jax was a good players coach but the organization hated him.
Kerr, a rookie steeped in and took that 55 win team to the next level.
Jax was there a few years and did a good job with what became the last dynasty. He gets credit but they did just fine without him.

For or against him? Im glad I don’t have to hear him call a game. Loved him in St Johns and as a Knick and respect his career as a player.

Tell me what happend why he can’t get on the plane with Erman? Am I missing something?
For the record, GSW was right to can Erman for what he did as they were trying to salvage the season. Jax got fired at the end. Erman got hired by Boston and has not had any issues since.

I thought it was weeks ago it was announced he’d be doing some games.
Maybe Clyde is retiring this year and he steps in? And this was a way to ease him in this year?

Clyde has had back problems and he has been pretty open about letting everyone know he would be missing road games more.

I think this would be the first year they had wanted someone to fill in on a semi-regular basis.

Don't think Clyde is going away any time soon.

It had been announced shortly after Jax and JVG were let go from ESPN that MSG was a possibility for Mark. I believe that was summer.
