If you hire a coach with no prior coaching experience, you can't be shocked, yes, shocked, when he's not the best with the X's and O's.

Warriors fans know about his deficiencies and that he often gets out-coached in the final minutes of close games. But 51 wins and a seven game series against a 3 seed washes that away.

The best course of action right now would be to somehow find an assistant coach who's really good at X's and O's who can get along with Jackson. Go into next season with about the same roster, with everyone one year wiser and more seasoned. They get booted early next season, fine, then you've given Jackson his chances with this talent, and you look for something else. Until then, you keep him.
