Good old Mark. I would have done the same.
Quote:
Warriors coach Mark Jackson didn’t want to be on the ugly end of an NBA record Tuesday. The former St. John’s and Knicks point guard instructed his players to foul before the Rockets could connect on their 24th three-pointer.
You can’t blame Jackson, especially after Houston rubbed it in a little during the blowout win. “We’re not going to lie down," Jackson said. “I was an old-school basketball player. I’m an old-school coach. If you can’t appreciate that, that’s on you."
Rookie forward Draymond Green was thrown out for committing a Flagrant 2 after Jackson gave the order. Afterward, Chandler Parsons chided Jackson on Twitter, saying “Hand Down, Man Down” — one of Jackson’s catch phrases as a broadcaster. It should make for an interesting rematch Tuesday night in Oakland.
