While their roster is set to look dramatically different with the departures of Klay Thompson and Chris Paul, the Golden State Warriors’ coaching staff will also undergo changes.
With Kenny Anderson named the Cleveland Cavaliers’ new head coach, Steve Kerr had an opening on his coaching staff. In the early stages of the offseason, the Warriors reportedly brought in a pair of experienced coaches to fill out Kerr’s staff.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Warriors are planning to hire Terry Stotts as lead assistant and Jerry Stackhouse as another assistant.
