Aldridge: Jackson Could Move Easily from TV Booth to Bench

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">David Aldridge, writing in the Philadelphia Inquirer, handicaps potential head coaches who are currently working as assistants or announcers. Among the top candidates, he writes, is YES Network's Mark Jackson and he gets backup from Pacer GM Donny Walsh, who might just be looking for someone to replace Rick Carlisle. Walsh says some of Jackson's point guard skills could easily translate on the bench.</div>

Mark Jackson coaching the Nets? or Pacers? i can see both of those happening.

 

Jackson is a great veteran coach and will be a great fit for our team. I think he would do a better job of coaching the team and especially Vince then Frank is doing right now.

I'm pretty sure Mark Jackson has never coached a team.

I could have sworn I have seen him as a coach. Maybe I was thinking of someone else.

 

Mark Jackson would probably give the ball back to Kidd. He would run the offense through him. It's no secret how Mark Jackson love's the game of Kidd.
