Mark Jackson

Not too long ago, Jackson was turning the Golden State Warriors into a legitimate playoff contender. He was an integral piece of the development of Stephen Curry and did not receive enough credit for the work he did.

Jackson laid the foundation for the team that Steve Kerr took to the next level. He was forgotten quickly and went into television broadcasting. While he is very successful commentating on games, the chance to return to Indiana and become the Pacers’ next head coach would have to be intriguing.

The Pacers are going to be looking at “program builders” in their next head coach. Jackson could absolutely be that guy. He has done it very successfully once before.

Fans in Indiana have long been hoping to see Jackson come back and coach the Pacers. Perhaps this will be the offseason that the franchise makes that happen.
