NBA: Steve Kerr to coach Golden State Warriors
Steve Kerr, who has no coaching experience at any level, has reached a tentative agreement to be the next head coach of the Golden State Warriors

OAKLAND, USA – Steve Kerr, who has no coaching experience at any level, has reached a tentative agreement to be the next head coach of the Golden State Warriors, the NBA team said on Wednesday.

Kerr takes over from former coach Mark Jackson and if it becomes official he is expected to receive a contract worth $25 million over five years.

Kerr, who had also been talking to the New York Knicks about a coaching position, is well respected around the league.

After retiring from the NBA in 2003, Kerr spent four seasons as a broadcaster before accepting the Phoenix Suns’ general manager position.

He left that role in June 2010 and returned to broadcasting.

A second-round pick of Phoenix in 1988, Kerr averaged 6.0 points per game over 15 seasons with six different NBA teams.

Jackson was fired after three years as coach of Golden State. He led the Warriors to 51 wins last season. – Rappler.com
