Mark Jackson having "a blast" analysing games for television

Former Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson has laughed off suggestions that he shouldn't be analysing his old team's games for television.

Jackson has become a lead analyst on American stations ABC and ESPN, and he has drawn criticism by covering several Warriors games this season.

He told The AP: "I read articles that I shouldn't be doing it. To me, it was laughable. I'm absolutely winning and having the time of my life calling games with incredible friends and incredible people and working for an incredible organisation. So it's been a blast for me."

Jackson spent three seasons in charge of the Warriors between 2011 and 2014.
