The Golden State Warriors haven't made a final decision on the future of Mark Jackson, but the beginning of issues was when Joe Lacob engaged in brief extension talks with Jackson's agent last offseason.

Lacob raised the issue of Jackson at least establishing a partial residence in the Bay Area. Jackson remains largely based in Southern California.

Jackson is under contract for one more season and has generally done a good job with what had been a disappointing run of seasons since the 2007 NBA Playoffs.

Jackson is beloved by most players on the roster and respected by the front office, but he also has been a target for fans and sometimes for Warriors' executives.

Fred Hoiberg and Steve Kerr are at the top of the Warriors' hypothetical short list should they decide to part ways with Jackson.
