In a family affair that adds a new dynamic to the Golden State Warriors coaching staff, head coach Steve Kerr has promoted his son, Nicholas Kerr, to join the team. At 32 years old, Nicholas brings a wealth of experience, having served as the Warriors G League head coach in Santa Cruz for the past two seasons. His tenure with Santa Cruz was marked by strong performances, with the team finishing fourth in the G League's Western Conference each year.
Nicholas Kerr's basketball journey has taken him from the collegiate level, playing at both San Diego and Cal, to various coaching roles, including stints with the San Antonio Spurs and the Warriors' player development department. His progression within the organization culminated in his recent appointment as the head coach of the Santa Cruz team, ultimately leading to this latest career move to the NBA coaching staff alongside his father, Steve Kerr. With the elder Kerr's successful track record as the Warriors head coach, boasting multiple NBA titles and Finals appearances, the addition of Nicholas signals a continuation of the family's basketball legacy within the Golden State organization.
