Meet FROM PAGE 1 By Antonio Gonzalez TheAssociatedPress OAKLAND As co-captains and team leaders, Ste- phen Curry and David Lee carry the loudest voices in the Golden State Warriors locker room, which is why what they said Monday is significant. Curry and Lee sent a clear message to co-owner Joe Lacob and team man- agement, saying players want Mark Jackson back as coach and an end to all the uncertainty that sur- rounded him this season. "I've said pretty much all I can say about how I feel about Coach, and they know how I feel," Curry said. "And I'm sure with exit inter- views and however they go about making decisions — if they have any decisions to make — I'm sure we'll be in the loop. But at this point, conversations will be had and I'll continue to ex- press my feelings and that's all I can do at this point. It's unfortunate that a 50-win team that we're in the posi- tion where these questions are being asked." Lee echoed Curry's sen- timents. "I've said it all year that he has my support," Lee said. "Who knows if there's even a decision to be made? Who knows if we're going to even be asked about it? But we've made it clear we're in support (of Jackson) if and when we're asked." For a franchise enjoying its best two-season stretch in 20 years, the Warriors have been dealing with dis- tractions involving Jackson and his staff since last sum- mer. The pressure on Jackson began when the Warriors decided to pick up his con- tract option for the 2014-15 season instead of negotiat- ing a long-term deal as he had wanted. Management also encouraged Jackson — who has been allowed to choose his staff — to hire a strong tactician after top assistant Michael Malone left for the Sacramento Kings. Lacob, who bought the franchise in 2010 along with Peter Guber, has yet to pub- licly support Jackson be- yond this season. General manager Bob Myers has not spoken publicly about Jackson's future since the season ended, and players have been left in the mid- dle trying to defend their coach. "As players, both of the situations that happened were shocks to us," Curry said. "And I know Coach was in a tough situation hav- ing to deal with those. Obvi- ously the details have come out about what exactly hap- pened. We back coach in his decisions, making sure that his staff was together. As players, you want to be led by a group that's unified. If there's dissention within the coaching staff, we're al- ready a step behind when it comes to becoming a suc- cessful team." Jackson's bombastic per- sonality also has, at times, not played well with the Warriors or their fans. But the one thing he always has pointed to is the results, which are hard to question. The Warriors, who fin- ished 23-36 after the NBA labor lockout in Jackson's first season, went 47-35 last season and 51-31 this season. They have made the play- offs in consecutive years for the first time since the 1990-91 and 1991-92 seasons and have become one of the NBA's top defensive teams.
