Mark Jackson reveals thoughts on NBA coaching return
Mark Jackson just dropped a bombshell on the 'Gil's Arena' podcast, and let me tell you, it's got the basketball world buzzing. The man's itching to get back into coaching, and honestly, the NBA or even college hoops could use a mind like his. Since stepping down from the Golden State Warriors, where he sparked a basketball revolution, Jackson's been on the sidelines, but it sounds like he's more than ready to jump back in the game.
"I do have dreams and aspirations of one day coaching again. I look forward to the opportunity, it's frustrating that it hasn't happened but at the same time I got total trust in God that ultimately somebody will give me an opportunity and I look forward to impacting lives and winning ball games and being in the thick as a coach again. ... I would definitely consider coaching college. From my standpoint I believe that I have the ability to impact college and pros so whatever opportunity presents itself. ... There was success in Golden State 19 straight years one trip to the playoffs and all of a sudden, we make the playoffs after the first year two years in a row and win 50 games, wasn't me, it was us we did a great job of establishing the culture and changing the culture, so I'm honored to have played a role proof."
He's not just sitting around waiting, though. Jackson's fired up, talking about divine timing and being ready when the right call comes. His faith and patience are part of what makes him such a fascinating figure in basketball. Reflecting on his days with the Warriors, it's clear he's proud of turning that team into a playoff staple and hitting that sweet 50-win season. But it's not just about wins; Jackson's all about culture, about building a team from the inside out. That's what the NBA needs — coaches who think beyond the court.
