Why don't they fire Ron too? There's no reason to keep him. May as well get a look at Eric Bienemy.

Statements like these have littered Jackson’s politics for decades. His most egregious comments came in 2005 when then-NBA commissioner David Stern instituted a dress code for players. The rule change came in the aftermath of the Malice at the Palace brawl between the Indiana Pacers, Detroit Pistons and fans at the game. Stern sought to change the image of the league by legislating out “hip-hop” clothing, which was met with backlash for its own coded conditions: business casual attire, no chains or pendants, no headgear, no T-shirts. Players were outraged, with some, like Golden State Warriors guard Jason Richardson, calling it “kind of racist.” Jackson gave it a ringing endorsement, but not before taking it all a step further and inserting his own troubling editorializing.

“I think it’s important that the players take their end of it,” he said back then. “Get out of the prison garb and the thuggery aspect of basketball that has come along with hip-hop music in the last seven or eight years.”

"
A quick recap for those knew may have missed the news: A source told ESPN on Wednesday that, during a film session, the Cavs coach apparently interrupted a lengthy missive of criticisms with what was meant to be a compliment: that they were no longer playing like a bunch of thugs.

According to the ESPN report, the comment did not immediately “sink in” at the moment it was uttered, but that as players left the session, they were “stunned” at what was said and “increasingly disturbed” as the day went on.".

Because EB will get the team in shape to start winning and they're tanking by way of Ron being Ron.

I was listening to a podcast yesterday and Ron has only had three winning seasons in 13 years as a HC. It's actually a little wild he got this Washington gig in the first place with a record like that.
