Some of It definitely is more than basketball which makes it even worse in my opinion. Jackson reportedly alienated some of the players in his locker room and caused a rift between the team, coaches, front office, and management which Is crazier and worse than his actual strategic know how.
The team and especially Curry played immensely better under the free flowing ball and player movement offense Kerr implemented as opposed to the heavy iso offensive style Jackson ran. Yes the players got better due to being healthy and being more acclimated to the league but the play style change also helped them take it to another level. Not to mention one of the reasons Durant wanted to play with Golden State was due to the way they shared the ball and played offense aka the offensive game plan Kerr implemented.
“I enjoy the way they played basketball,” Durant said. “I never played with shooters like that. That moved. That were versatile players. I wanted to be a part of that.”
He feels his off-ball movement is better and his handles have improved to make him a better playmaker. Balling on a more enlightened, spiritual level, too.
Kevin Durant: Being a Warrior means playing 'great basketball every second I'm on the court'
Kevin Durant feels he’s become a better player in the last two years and, despite the unbridled success, he’s still searching for more.

Mark Jackson can't expect other owners and front office executives to unequivocally trust him after the mess that happened in Oakland unless he admits he learned from the mistakes he made and will not do the same things. Nobody is going to hire an okay (at best) coach who they fear is going to try and turn the players against them. Lol
i honestly dont think they want to stop him tbh. But make sure they try to at best, neutralize LBJ and make the role players beat them
if Dame is out for ANY game, then this this is as good as over

It's a book out about the Warriors and In it was some of the stuff Mark Jackson did to burn brides with the Warriors front office and ownership. Below is some excerpts from an article on a bit of the stuff he did in Oakland from that book
There were other unseemly episodes detailed in the book, such as Jackson being extorted for money by two individuals, including an ex-stripper — an FBI investigation that went public. His remark after Jason Collins announced he was gay created a firestorm. Citing his Christianity, Jackson made an “I’m praying for him’’ comment that was deemed intolerant. It infuriated team president Rick Welts, who had come out publicly two years earlier. Nevertheless, the larger issues remain with basketball — with accusations of Jackson struggling to get along with Warriors employees other than the players. Lacob made the famous remark: “You can’t have 200 people in the organization not like you.’’ (Jarrett Jack, who played for Jackson with the Warriors, told The Post recently that Jackson got along terrifically with his players.) The book depicted chaos within the coaching staff, leading to assistant coach Brian Scalabrine’s demotion to G-League assistant after not being on speaking terms with Jackson for weeks. Another assistant, Darren Erman, was fired after secretly taping the coaching staff and later claimed Jackson bad-mouthed him to others.
Detailed was a rough relationship with Kirk Lacob, the owner’s son, who was director of basketball operations and allegedly was told not to talk to Jackson’s assistants. NBA legend Jerry West, a consultant, wasn’t warmly welcomed at practice (one of the reasons practice was getting secretly taped), according to “Betaball.’’ Jackson admitted after the firing the breaking point came when he refused to revamp his coaching staff upon ownership’s request.
Extortion, Warriors chaos: Behind Knicks’ Mark Jackson red flags
If Knicks brass has read “Betaball,’’ there are enough red flags about coaching candidate Mark Jackson to stop a NASCAR race. The recently released book detailing the making of the Warriors dynasty…

That's just some of the stuff. It's also rumors about him kinda making outcast out of some of his players who had different or no religious beliefs.
There aren't many people in any profession who can tell their bosses not to come check on their product, while having a bad attitude and keep their job. Lol
