Apparently Cliff mentioned this on some radio show he went on. Price leaving does seem to open up a spot on the coaching staff.

He's been thought of as a joke, but he's has a really good basketball mind.

Wasn't he highly regarded within the Warriors until Mark Jackson went all power play and fired him mid season?

He'd be a good addition imo.

If we added Scal and hired a shooting "consultant" we'd be alright imo.

Yes. The ownership/management agreed to send him to the D-League coaching staff after his blowup with Jackson to (somewhat) quell the situation. Then after they fired Jackson, they offered him his job back as part of Kerr's new staff. They liked Scalabrine and thought he had some upside as a coach.

But Scalabrine declined the offer. He said it was a great experience, but coaching probably wasn't for him. So he got some broadcasting gig with the Celts this past season, I believe.
Brian Geltzeiler: You see Mark Jackson getting a head coaching job as early as next year?

Adrian Wojnarowski: Not if people make calls on him. Not if an organization is doing their homework and knows all the things he brings with him.
