Warriors Make Bold Move: Steve Kerr’s Son Nicholas Steps Into Assistant Coach Role—What Does This Mean for the Team’s Future?
It’s pretty fascinating when legacies aren’t just about trophies or highlight reels, but also about who’s calling the shots from the sidelines. For the 2025-26 NBA season, the Golden State Warriors are welcoming yet another Kerr to their coaching ranks. Nicholas Kerr, stepping out from the long shadow of his father, Steve Kerr, is making the leap to assistant coach after proving his mettle leading the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G-League. Having been embedded in the Warriors’ ecosystem since 2018, Nicholas brings a blend of fresh energy and insider savvy to a seasoned coaching crew already featuring the likes of Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse. On top of that, the Warriors aren’t just shuffling coaches—they’re shaking up their basketball operations with some strategic moves that hint at a forward-thinking approach. Oh, it’s more than just nepotism here—it’s a carefully crafted continuation of basketball brilliance.

Another Kerr will be on the Warriors’ bench for the 2025-26 NBA season.
Nicholas Kerr, son of Golden State head coach Steve Kerr, was promoted to an assistant coach role for the upcoming season, per a Warriors release Saturday.
Kerr, 32, spent the last two seasons as the head coach of the Santa Cruz Warriors, Golden State’s G-League affiliate. He has been with the organization since 2018, previously spending three seasons with Golden State working in player development and as a video coordinator.
Under his father, who is entering his 12th NBA season as Golden State’s head coach, Kerr will join a veteran coaching staff on the Warriors’ bench. Former NBA head coaches Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse are two prominent names on the staff; both were hired prior to the 2024-25 season.
The Warriors also announced a slew of other changes within their basketball operations department. Notably, David Fatoki was promoted to vice president of basketball development after serving as the general manager of Santa Cruz for the last four seasons. Nikola Milojević, son of late Golden State assistant coach Dejan Milojević, has been hired in a video coordinator, player development role as well.
