Semi-protected

I semi-protected this article for a week due to the number of anonymous editors swinging by to "weigh in" on his recent suspensions and non-suspensions. --Spike Wilbury 21:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you're gonna talk about about a guy like that, at least spell it right. Sheesh. --70.160.89.168 02:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Author doesn't like the Celtics... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.88.189.221 (talk) 02:11, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy

Something should also be said about Jackson's decision to suspend Jerry Stackhouse of the Mavericks for the critical fifth game of the NBA finals in 2006. The 210-lb. Stackhouse supposedly fouled the 320-lb. Shaq of the Heat so hard in game 4 that Shaq referred to the hit as less violent than love taps made by his daughters. The Mavs lost game 5 by only 1 point in overtime and sorely missed Stackhouse, their sixth man who was averaging 13 points a game. Had the Mavs won Game 5, they likely would have won the 2006 NBA title and Avery Johnson likely would still be the Mavs' coach. And then in the 2008 playoffs, Jackson refused to suspend Celtics and Hawks players who went on the floor during an altercation. He also refused to suspend Celtics star Garnett when the latter elbowed an official. But he did suspend Wizards big man Darius Songaila for the pivotal game 6 against Cleveland after Songaila hit LeBron James in what he said was an accidental blow after they got entangled. Adding insult to injury, Jackson waited until the day of Game 6 to suspend Songaila, not giving the Wizards any time to adjust to the change. Usually, such suspensions are announced at least one day before the playoff game. The point is Jackson has made a lot of suspect decisions that lead many to question the integrity of the NBA.

High School Career

Stu played high school ball for the Reading High Red Knights, of Reading, PA, leading the team to a state finals game against General Braddock in 1973. Jackson's 36 points was a state finals record, but the Red Knights lost the game 63-62, on a free throw made with no time left on the clock. The game is considered one of the most memorable games in PA high school history by PAHoops.org.
