Kudos to the Golden State Warriors for leading the way! Head coach Steve Kerr only recently broke the news that his own son, Nicholas Kerr, had been promoted onto the team’s coaching staff. Even star player Steph Curry’s recent comments suggested he wishes to continue to build the winning franchise once his contract runs out in two years. This appetite is propelling the latest push.
Steve Kerr, who has served as the Warriors’ head coach since the 2014-15 season, has led the team to remarkable achievements, including four NBA Championships and six NBA Finals appearances. Since his ascension to the position, the Warriors have compiled a remarkable 567-308 regular season record. Further, they have marked 104 playoff wins. This long track record of success has established Kerr’s reputation as one of the top coaches in the league.
Nicholas Kerr, 32, who joined the Warriors organization in 2021. Then he got the call to move up to Golden State, first as an assistant coach for the G League team in Santa Cruz. Over the last two seasons, he’s found a home as the head coach of the G League’s Santa Cruz Warriors. Under his leadership, they set a franchise record with a 20-14 start and clinched a fourth-place finish in the Western Conference each season. He’s got a deep basketball background, having played at San Diego and Cal. While born in Cleveland, Ohio, he grew up in San Diego, California.
Yesterday, Steph Curry reiterated – as strongly as he possibly could – that he’s committed to the Warriors for the long haul. He vowed to have this era of success “prolonged for as long as possible.” His comments illustrate that he looks further down the line with the organization than his existing contract. That’s a pretty deep connection to both the organization and its top leadership.
Nicholas Kerr’s promotion to the Warriors’ coaching staff highlights the unbelievable family tie on Golden State’s bench. Beyond that though, it’s a smart play to take advantage of his deep well of experience and understanding gained from his time spent in the G League. Now everyone from fans to analysts is weighing in on the surprising move. They look forward to just watching how this dynamic plays out on the NBA stage.
