Mark Jackson essentially throws his name in NBA coaching search during livebroadcast

NBA: New Orleans Pelicans at Los Angeles Clippers

ESPN play-by-play guy Mark Jackson has a pretty sweet gig with the network, but he appears to want to get back to coaching, and soon.

Jackson, who coached the Warriors from 2011-14 — you know, before they were elite — is apparently looking for a second chance.

We know this because during the Spurs-Warriors broadcast, when Jackson’s cohorts were discussing coaching vacancies, specifically which team might employ David Fizdale, it produced a telling reaction. Jackson cleared his throat while his buddies were talking potential head coaching fits.

Tell us how you really feel, MJ.
