The Warriors have had a strange season. They have been good on the court, but there are constant rumors about Head Coach Mark Jackson’s job status. Also, there seems to be a revolving door of assistant coaches. The next man out is Darren Erman who was fired for “violation of company policy” in April. There were no details provided then but now the leaks have started. His alleged violation is that he secretly recorded other coaches conversations and got caught according to Chris Broussard’s sources:
He was taping everything. Taping pregame speeches wouldn’t have been that bad, but he was taping guys just sitting around talking in the coaches’ office. …
Was he taping it for himself or was he taping it for management? That’s not known. But he had a lot of communication with members of the front office.
This seems a bit strange to me. If he was a secret mole for management, why did they let him get fired? It seems to me that there is more to this story than has come out. We will see if he can recover and get back into coaching after this.
