Mark Jackson will not be calling games on MSG Network after the Knicks objected to him being on the team’s chartered plane, The Post has learned.

MSG Network planned on having Jackson occasionally fill in for Clyde Frazier this season, but Knicks management, led by team president Leon Rose, put a kibosh on the arrangement in part due to an old quarrel with Jackson and an assistant coach, according to sources.

The marketing/MSG Network teams probably didn't consult Leon Rose or anybody in the Knicks FO before offering him the role, not realizing the dude tried to oust Bob Meyers in Golden State and fired good assistants like Mike Malone because of fears they'd usurp him.
