The article in this week's SI about Golden State was part puff piece on Steve Kerr and part body jabs to Mark Jackson. They revealed a lot of things I had not heard before about what went into Jackson's dismissal. They said he didn't like any of the assistants getting credit, so when Malone started hearing compliments about his stout defensive schemes, Jackson demoted him and gave defensive responsibility to a low-level assistant. Jackson didn't like how Scalabrine was so immediately popular with the players, so he sent him to the D-League. It was also noted that Jackson ran offensive schemes that were contradictory to Curry's skill-set, and that he had no idea how to use or develop Thompson. And that he used to pit players against each other.
Other than that, he was a pretty good coach.
