Mark Jackson said trading Monta Ellis helped to change the culture of the Warriors.
Jackson meant that shipping Ellis out of town has had a positive effect on his team, so he's swinging a pretty big bat with a comment like that. "Obviously it was easier to pull the trigger because we know what we had in Klay and it was the time for him to be a starting two-guard. And he does everything right," Jackson said. Asked specifically as to how the trade helped change the culture, Jackson replied, "You know." We don't anticipate a reunion any time soon. May 10 - 9:05 AM

Warriors coach Mark Jackson was fined $25,000 for public comments about the officiating after Game 5.

Jackson was tagged for trying to "influence" the officials ahead of Thursday's Game 6. Jackson accused the Nuggets of trying to take out Stephen Curry's tender ankles with overly physical play Tuesday night, saying that he had "inside information" that backed him up. It was pretty obvious that Jackson was trying to soften up the refs, protect Curry and possibly land some favorable calls Thursday night. We're betting that Jackson will happily give up the 25K if that ends up being the case.

Warriors coach Mark Jackson was the victim of an extortion scheme, reportedly due to an extramarital affair he was involved in.

Jackson has issued an apology for the affair and the Warriors say they support Jackson. The FBI was also involved, but this will all likely be water under the bridge by the time the new season rolls around.

Former NBA point guard and current TV commentator Mark Jackson is a candidate for the Hornets' vacant head coaching job.

Jackson has no experience coaching in the NBA, but clearly wants to leapfrog past being an assistant directly to a head coach gig. He is also a candidate for the Clippers' job.

The NY Daily News reported on Sunday that Mark Jackson has interviewed for the Timberwolves vacant head coaching job.

There aren't too many known candidates for the position, and Jackson seems like the front-runner. He has no head coaching experience but his ability to connect with young players could be a major plus for the rebuilding Wolves.

Several media outlets and sources are suggesting that Mark Jackson is the leading candidate to become the Timberwolves next head coach.

One source has indicated that the decision has already been made, and it makes sense given the fact that Jackson and new GM David Kahn were both with the Pacers when Jackson was the starting point guard and Kahn was the team's GM. He would also likely come at a bargain, as opposed to other candidates like Mike Fratello or Sam Mitchell, who also appear to be in the running.

The Rockets are crediting Mark Jackson for being a big part of yesterday's win and Yao Ming's huge game.

Jackson, making his Rockets' debut on a 10-day contract, quarterbacked the team for the final eight minutes of the game, and found Yao quite often as the big man posted 29 points. He could stick around for a little while.

Rockets signed guard Mark Jackson.

The 38-year-old Jackson will take over as Steve Francis's backup. Francis plays 40 minutes per game, so Jackson shouldn't see too much time.

Free agent Mark Jackson will work out for the Rockets officials Thursday in Houston.

Jackson, 38, is second in NBA history in career assists. With Charlie Ward spurning the Rockets for San Antonio, coach Jeff Van Gundy is looking at another former Knick to fill the backup point guard duties.
