Mark Jackson has signed a multiyear deal with ESPN to continuing calling NBA games.

Last week, ESPN laid off about 100 employees, including some of its high-profile TV talent.

Jackson was part of ESPN's lead broadcasting team before becoming head coach of the Golden State Warriors in 2011. When he was fired as head coach in 2014, Jackson immediately rejoined ESPN for the 2014 Playoffs.

Jackson has had interest in returning to coaching.
