Mark Jackson
There did not seem to be a coach around who connected with his players the way Jackson did in his first stint as a coach, with the Golden State Warriors. He inspired them to play hard and fast, and Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson blossomed under Jackson’s tutelage. He was fired after leading the franchise to its first consecutive playoff seasons in 20 years over what owner Joe Lacob has described as personal stuff about not getting along with 200 staff members in the building and not hiring the assistant coaching staff Lacob wanted, although the team had won 51 games. Jackson, 49, lives in California, but he might not even want that job if called.
