"Mark Jackson, the former NBA point guard and current ESPN analyst, has decided to decline an opportunity to interview for the 76ers’ coaching job. "It’s just not the right situation for him at this time,’’ was all that was offered by Steve Kauffman, Jackson’s agent. The Sixers had been trying to schedule a meeting with Jackson, but Jackson sent word Tuesday that he was trying to determine whether he wanted to proceed. He informed Kauffman today of his decision. He is expected to interview for the New Orleans Hornets job, and is hopeful of being contacted by the Los Angeles Clippers and possibly the New Jersey Nets." So Mark Jackson turns down the sixers but is hopeful about the clippers and nets?
