I'm suuuuuuper bummed about this and have spent time writing to management and adding comments to columns like: http://blogs.mercurynews.com/warriors/2014/03/26/jim-barnett-in-your-words/ but sounds like the decision is pretty much in stone.

It's cool that the Blazers wore their Rip City jerseys the other night for Barnett's last game announcing at Portland:

Featured by Fast Break Warriors Fan Blog

This is a perfect time to express my thanks for the incredible support the Fast Break blog has given me during this personally strange season. My first thanks go of course to Adam. His continual support prior to this year has always been noticed and appreciated. And the unexpected column to #KeepJim and bring me out of retirement was a game changer. That's when the groundswell began with the overwhelming positive posts provided by you, the people who are the gatekeepers of the blog. Words cannot possibly due justice to express my personal appreciation for wanting me to return. Your generous and positive statements influenced me and the Warriors organization. We took another look at what might transpire and have simply put a hold on my hanging it up completely next year. Whatever arrangement that eventually unfolds will be one that we can all support and affirm.

I am happy with the outcome and I will certainly do my best to bring the best of the Warriors to you next year, in as many games as that will be. Eventually there has to be a change. I will want it and the organization will need it. That time will come about naturally to the benefit of all parties. And that includes you: the loyal and knowledgeable fans who write on this blog!

A final shout out to Chris L as his prose carried a strong message of support as well. I also had the pleasure of meeting him at a game recently. I wish I could meet more of you. There is so much more I would like to say.

Once again I am grateful to you contributors who came on here for the first time; the ones who had not posted here for some time; and you regulars whom I feel like I already know. (I don't read all comments as it sometimes becomes too much). There is so much to read elsewhere to try and keep up, and I do have a life beyond this wonderful game that has defined my life. But I certainly read Adam's and Chris's synopsis regularly.

Once again, thank you!

Jim Barnett
