If Knicks brass has read “Betaball,’’ there are enough red flags about coaching candidate Mark Jackson to stop a NASCAR race.
The recently released book detailing the making of the Warriors dynasty painted a bleak picture of Jackson being too resistant to analytics, mismanaging his coaching staff, making an ill-timed, anti-gay remark and harboring a distant relationship with the Warriors’ front office, among other failings.
Nevertheless, the book’s author, Erik Malinowski believes the “hubris’’ Jackson, 53, carried during his 2011-14 stint in Golden State can be rectified.
“The deciding factor will be if he’s mellowed out a bit, if he learned from the situation where he can bend but not break,’’ Malinowski told The Post.
