The year he coached the Warriors, he seemed to be doing a halfway decent job (with what he had to work with), but then, at season's end, pretty much nobody wanted him to come back. No concrete, specific reasons given. Vague, but sums him up about as well as possible.

He was in the running for coach of the year his first year. He built a great relationship with their star, Arenas, which, later when reflecting on his success and failures as an NBA HC in Sac and GS, he said in the NBA having a great relationship with the star player is key to success -- because when the star buys in, the rest of the team tends to buy in and respect the coach. He said he did a great job of that at GS with Arenas, but a poor job with SAC (can't remember who their "star" was at the time).

There was one he identified at the time, and I don't think either of those three were it. I dunno

Gotta say, too: I was sorry to see Shocky fall by the wayside. Warts and all, he was a pretty big donor and helped create excitement for the program. Cal Basketball needs all the $$$ and excitement it can get.
