Warriors General Manager Larry Riley signed Mark Jackson to a three-year $6 million contract with a team option for a forth year.
Mark Jackson does not have any coaching experience but has experience in running the point guard position for 17 years in the NBA; ranking third in all-time assists (10,334).
When talking about his new role as coach of the Golden State Warriors, Jackson says, “I am really elated about this opportunity and I’m looking forward to the challenge of building the Warriors into a perennial contender.“
He also says that he likes the scoring combination of Ellis and Curry but says he is going to start at the defensive side of the ball. Fans hope Coach Jackson will get the Warriors consistently in the win column.
