Mark Jackson is still eager for an opportunity to coach in the NBA.

The former Golden State Warriors head coach told TMZ Sports he's hopeful an NBA team will reach out with a job offer for him.

"I got my phone on, so I'm more than available," he said. "They know how to find me. I look forward to that day."

Jackson coached the Warriors for three seasons from 2011-14, compiling a 121-109 record and leading the team to the playoffs twice. He joined ESPN as an analyst following his firing.

Jackson interviewed for the Los Angeles Lakers' head coaching vacancy in May and reportedly had the endorsement of LeBron James, but was passed on in favor of Darvin Ham. He also interviewed for the Sacramento Kings' head coaching job earlier this year.
