Mark Jackson emerges as Kings coach candidate

After the Kings fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder 104-92, another possible candidate for the Kings' bench emerged in the most convenient of ways: former Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson.

After calling the game courtside for ESPN, Jackson had a lengthy meeting with Chris Mullin, Kings general manager Pete D'Alessandro and franchise centerpiece DeMarcus Cousins inside the "Chairman's Lounge".

Jackson, Mullin, and Cousins entered the room at approximately 10:20 p.m. Pacific time. D'Alessandro joined them approximately 20 minutes into the meeting, and the group finally exited just before midnight, long after the room had been cleared.
