    Jackson is way overrated. I think he's like John Lucas - a snake oil salesman. He really rubs me the wrong way. Might be the "religiosity" - he just comes across as the kind of sleazy preacher Richard Pryor used to make fun of.

    He already took a job with the Celts.

    My guess is management had him tape conversations, and then found him a new job after Jackson canned him.

    Jackson is okay, but any time a coach has that many problems with a front office, there is going to be someone fired. They had big expectations this year, and you have to think they didn't reach those expectations.

    DAMMIT! When are we going to get a coach who has some basic understanding of how a defense works?

    I think Stott's will get it soon. I have confidence in him

    Why? I hope you're right, but if we go into next season without a defensive specialist as an Asst. Coach I'll be pissed. Stotts isn't bad but he isn't all that good either - on either end of the court. Not Championship good.

    The new ownership in G State is stupid as fuck. They will regret this. I heard Mark get interviewed by Dan Patrick. It was a mutual decision. He is glad to be gone.

    You want the guy who was secretly recording things? Not me. There's someone else more ethical out there...

    I thought some might find that funny.

    One would think Mark Jackson would have made his statement after each situation when they occurred and moved on. That coaching staff apparently was a cluster bomb.

    Ethics be damned! I want some DEFENSE!
    Is Thibs available this summer? If so I hope we seriously look into that before picking up Stotts' option.
