Golden State Warriors' newly hired head coach - Steve Kerr will be on the sideline at summer league in Las Vegas next month coaching the Santa Cruz Warriors, he told Monte Poole of CSN Bay Area.
“Yes, I will coach summer league,” Kerr told me via text message on Tuesday….
Meanwhile, he continues to identify and speak with prospective assistants. Among the names prominently mentioned is David Blatt, who has worked in competition overseas and has internationally created a reputation for offensive creativity.
Assistant coaches usually are the ones who coach in the summer league but this is a way, as they say, for Kerr to get his "feet wet".
What this entails is that it gives him an opportunity to get some experience and show everyone that he can coach and what to expect from him this upcoming season.
Brooklyn Nets' head coach - Jason Kidd did it last summer, and so did Phoenix Suns' head coach - Jeff Hornacek. Two years ago, the former coach of the Charlotte Bobcats' - Mike Dunlap did the same.
Summer league in Las Vegas begins on July 11th at the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavillion. There are many questions arousing around Kerr thats for sure.
There is one question that will possibly be answered on the first day of summer league play, that is what kind of system Steve Kerr is going to coach the team in.
