The Golden State Warriors are keeping it all in the family.
In a move that adds a personal touch to the Warriors’ evolving coaching lineup, Nicholas Kerr son of head coach Steve Kerr has officially joined the Warriors’ NBA coaching staff. The promotion comes after Nicholas spent two successful seasons as head coach of the team’s G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, where he built a reputation for tactical discipline and player development.
Like Father, Like Son
With his father, Steve Kerr, entering what could be one of his final seasons at the helm, Nicholas’s arrival marks a symbolic continuation of the Kerr legacy in Golden State. But make no mistake — this isn’t just nepotism. Nicholas Kerr has earned his stripes on the hardwood.
During his G League tenure, Nicholas led Santa Cruz to multiple playoff appearances, with a focus on nurturing young talent and implementing modern offensive schemes. Several of his players earned call-ups to the NBA roster, thanks in part to his strong player-first coaching approach.
The Warriors’ Long Game
Bringing Nicholas into the NBA fold signals that the Warriors are investing not just in the next generation of players, but in the next generation of coaching leadership. It also hints at potential future planning, especially if Steve Kerr decides to step down or move on after his current contract expires.
Team insiders say Nicholas will focus on player development and offensive strategy areas where he’s already shown remarkable potential.
A Full-Circle Moment
The move also represents a full-circle moment for Nicholas, who began his basketball journey as a video intern and gradually worked his way up the coaching ladder. With experience under head coaches like Erik Spoelstra (during his time with USA Basketball) and, of course, his father, Nicholas enters the NBA staff room with a unique blend of mentorship and merit.
The Fans React
Warriors fans have taken to social media to welcome the younger Kerr aboard, with reactions ranging from “The dynasty continues!” to “Coach Kerr Jr. in the making?” Some speculate that Nicholas could be groomed as a long-term coaching figure in Golden State, while others are simply celebrating the familiar face joining the sidelines.
What’s Next?
As the Warriors look to retool and remain contenders in the ever-competitive Western Conference, having a sharp basketball mind like Nicholas Kerr on the bench adds depth, energy, and a familiar winning mentality.
For now, the Kerr legacy is alive and thriving and it’s wearing a Golden State jacket.
