Kerr is a great coach he learned from the greatest (Phil, Pop, Lenny Wilkens, Cotton Fitzsimmons). Kerr was a great shooter, a 5x champion, and a tough/high I.Q. scrappy back up guard. He knows about team building, analytics and all that he GM'd the 7SOL Suns and was also a TV analyst. The man did it all pertaining to basketball. I wanted the Knicks to hire him.
He established the culture of unselfishness in Golden State, the offensive sets are night and day compared to Mark Jackson, he was able to improve the offensive dramatically while keeping Jackson's defensive philosophies. We see the reversed triangle they ran with Bogut up top as the passer, we see the increased off-ball movement, the increased prevalence of high screen and rolls, the higher tempo, small versatile lineups. Kerr fires his guys up catching technicals and break clipboards and gives his guys confidence.
His players like him, he went out and got a staff of capable assistants that's the difference between he and Mark Jackson.
The offensive philosophies are already established, he has great players, and capable assistants. Luke Walton was made to coach he was a high I.Q. point forward and a players son, he coached at the University of Memphis during the lockout. Mike Brown is a good defensive mind and won CoY before. That's why Kerr can step down and the Warriors can still win.
Kerr is a great coach.
