節錄自:http://0rz.tw/7P63X Jackson's challenge in Golden State is immense. Since the seven-year run under Don Nelson from 1988-95, the Warriors have had 11 coaches (including a return by Nelson) and reached the playoffs just once in 16 years. If he guides the Warriors into the postseason, he will become the first coach other than Nelson to do so since 1988. A new ownership group headed by Joe Lacob and Peter Gruber, the addition of Jerry West as a front-office consultant and the leadership of General Manager Larry Riley has Jackson convinced the franchise is on the upswing. "I wouldn't have just taken any job," he said. "I think this team is really headed in the right direction, great ownership that's passionate, that's committed. And you look at our front office, the things that they've done, they've handled it professionally from day one, which made it even more attractive to me. And then the talent; I think this is a team that has underachieved and with making the right moves we're going to be in the mix." Had this opportunity never arrived, Jackson said his life wouldn't have been incomplete. His playing career was prolific and rewarding. He was a major success as a network analyst. On the other hand, this is a role that has seemed destined for most of his life. "As a kid, I would sit in the corner, listen to Knick games and I was Earl Monroe on the floor, I was Marv Albert calling the games and I was Red Holzman coaching games," he said. "It was truly a dream to cover all of those bases. "The missing link was I did not have an opportunity to coach. Fortunately, that opportunity has now come alive and I'm excited about it. It's going to be a lot of fun." 大意:大屁股將要接金州勇士隊的總教練,對於第一次接下總教練就要面對這間難挑戰 大屁股表示我已經準備好了! 也祝他執教順利,期待中~! --
