Jackson upset about handling of his termination by Warriors

Reports surfaced Tuesday afternoon that Mark Jackson's tenure as coach of the Golden State Warriors was over before the news was made official by the club in a release. Understandably, he wasn't pleased.

ESPN's Ethan Sherwood Strauss shared Jackson's thoughts from a Wednesday radio interview with 95.7 The Game:

The unfortunate thing is I go in an office with an owner and a general manager, just us three, and while in our office it's tweeted out that I'm in a meeting and I'm about to be fired. That's not how you conduct business. And if that's how business relationships are supposed to be done, well then they're 100 percent right, I did not conduct business the right way if that's the right way. And that's unfortunate.

Jackson, in his third year as head coach of the Warriors, led the team to a 51-31 regular season record. Golden State lost to the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs in a hard-fought seven-game battle.

"We did it without David Lee last year in the playoffs, and we were asked to do it this year without [Andrew] Bogut unfortunately," Jackson said. 

"And up one [point] in a Game 7 on the road against a No. 3 seed with two of the top 10 players in the world, the Sixth Man of the Year Award winner and a future Hall of Fame coach -- I'd say we're proud of what we've done on the floor."
