New Zealand Warriors Secure Key Halves with Re-signings
The Golden State Warriors are set for significant changes in their coaching staff despite head coach Steve Kerr returning for another two-year contract.League sources confirmed that the Warriors' top two assistants, Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse, will not return after their contracts expired.
Stotts, who served as Kerr's lead assistant and offensive coordinator for two seasons, informed the team he would not continue and remains open to NBA head coaching opportunities.Stackhouse, who was the defensive coordinator, is also leaving to pursue head coaching roles elsewhere.
The coaching shakeup follows the departure of Chris DeMarco earlier this year, who took the New York Liberty head coaching job, and the promotion of Kris Weems.The Warriors are currently searching for replacements, with former Pelicans head coach Willie Green among the potential candidates.
This coaching staff overhaul aligns with management’s push for changes after an injury-plagued season that saw the Warriors finish with just 37 wins and miss the playoffs.The team is also expected to make roster adjustments around star player Steph Curry during the upcoming transaction period.
