I’m sure there’s a conspiracy theory we could honk up here for Steve Kerr’s leave of absence and Luke Walton’s promotion as the interim head coach of the Golden State Warriors – “AHA! THE TUCSON MAFIA AT WORK!” – but alas, we got nothin’.
At least not so far.
Kerr’s back, which he wrenched doing something strenuous on the sidelines during the NBA Finals, has responded like a railyard hobo to a “No Trespassing” sign, and his discomfort is such that he cannot even muster up the vertebral fortitude to yell at Bennie Adams for old time’s sake.
