Mark Jackson, the 17-year NBA player and ESPN analyst was given the job as head coach of the Golden State Warriors. At 46, Jackson becomes the 24th coach in franchise history, all-the-while having no prior head coaching experience.
In a news release, co-owner Joe Lacob said:
“He epitomized leadership as a player in this league … and we think that characteristic, and many other positive traits, will translate very well into his coaching duties with our young team, we’re convinced that he is the right person to guide this team into the future and help us achieve the success that we are striving for as an organization.”
