TOUCHDOWN FEW MINUTES AGO: Steve Kerr Announces Big Coaching Move With His Son

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has officially added his son, 32‑year‑old Nicholas “Nick” Kerr, to the team’s NBA coaching staff for the upcoming 2025‑26 season. The move was announced yesterday, marking a significant milestone in Nick Kerr’s steady climb through the coaching ranks

From G League Head Coach to NBA Bench Partner

• Nick’s credentials are strong: he spent two seasons (2023–25) as the head coach of the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League, leading the team to a solid 20–14 record both years and finishing 4th in the Western Conference
• His earlier roles included graduate assistant at Cal, an internship with the San Antonio Spurs, experience in Golden State’s player development department, and three years as a video coordinator from 2018 to 2021

 Reactions: Nepotism or Earning His Stripes?

• Some fans and analysts have criticized the promotion as a “clear-cut case of nepotism,” with social media buzzing over the optics of a father hiring his son .
• Others defend the decision, noting Nick’s substantial credentials and the Warriors’ history of internal promotions through Santa Cruz — Nick is actually the fourth consecutive G League head coach to make the jump to the NBA staff

Inside the Organization: A Proven Pathway

• The Warriors have long used their Santa Cruz affiliate as a development platform not just for players, but for coaches too: Nick follows in the footsteps of Seth Cooper, Kris Weems, and Aaron Miles .
• Steve Kerr, who’s been at Golden State since 2014 and has led the team to four championships and six Finals appearances, has overseen an impressive organizational structure—450+ regular-season wins and 104 playoff victories under his leadership

 What Everyone’s Saying

• Critics argue it sets a troubling precedent and stokes perceptions of favoritism.
• Supporters, including those within the NBA sphere, point to Nick’s strong résumé and the Warriors’ track record of internal talent development.

 What This Means for the Upcoming Season

Nick Kerr will now serve as an assistant coach alongside his father on the NBA bench. With his G League experience and in-house familiarity, he’s expected to take on player development duties — a natural extension of his prior roles. Fans should watch how he adapts to the faster pace, greater scrutiny, and more complex strategies at the highest level.

Final Take

Yes, this promotion has sparked debate—some see nepotism, others see merit. But Nick Kerr brings genuine experience and a track-record earned within the organization. The move also shows the Warriors’ commitment to a clear ‘farm‑to‑NBA’ coaching pipeline. Ultimately, his performance on the bench will silence most critics or confirm their concerns.
