didn't he replace Doug Collins? Collins is the most extreme control freak. Jackson let Michael make a lot of decisions as to who/when guys play. He is easy going in comparision to Collins and because he realized fighting Michael would get him fired.
On the other hand, in a sense he "realized" that doing this would get the team championships. And he* did get a few good years out of Rodman, and he* got Pippin to become a reliable 2nd option.
* the last 2 hes could have been as much Michael as Jackson.
It would be interesting to see his big skills sitting on the 76 or Magic bench. somehow I don't think we'll see him anywhere rebuilding though.
