Let's Take Closer Look At This ...

Compare this to the $25,000 penalty Jackson has to pay for questioning the authenticity of referees' calls during an in-game interview.
Red Auerbach's annual salary for his first season with the Celtics, 1951-52, was $10,000. A fine of $25 would represent 0.25% of his annual salary.

Phil Jackson's annual salary is reported to be $10.33 million, the highest salary for a head coach in the NBA. A fine of $25,000 would represent 0.24% of his annual salary.

Looks like the NBA fines for coaches have been pretty consistent over the years.
