Other comments have already accurately described how this is mostly fluff since the Warriors success is mostly due to lucky random events with Steph Curry. But

Other comments have already accurately described how this is mostly fluff since the Warriors success is mostly due to lucky random events with Steph Curry. But one more clarification: > So when Lacob fired him in 2014, after a 51-31 season, and replaced him with Steve Kerr, the basketball world was shocked. Not many people were shocked. Jackson was a disaster despite their record and was poisonous to the team. Here's a taste of what he did: > Jackson demoted Brian Scalabrine, an assistant coach, to the D-League after initially firing him without cause in front of players. The team fired another assistant, Darren Erman, after learning he had been secretly recording conversations Jackson had with other coaches. Erman was concerned Jackson was bad-mouthing him behind his back, multiple sources have said, and poisoning his relationship with players. The team changed the location of Erman’s parking spot without warning, sources say. Jackson also made it known he preferred that Jerry West, a senior adviser to the Warriors, stay away from practices. from: http://grantland.com/the-triangle/mark-jackson-fired-golden-state-warriors/ http://grantland.com/the-triangle/mark-jackson-fired-golden-...
