OAKLAND – Even as he has shattered coaching records, Warriors Steve Kerr has always maintained his success stems from having talented players.
Without any prompting, Kerr then offered up an example. The Warriors did not just secure a 129-83 win over the Phoenix Suns because of their superior talent. The Warriors won partly because they coached themselves.
Kerr’s experiment all started as the Warriors trailed, 13-8, with 6:58 left in the first quarter. During a timeout, Kerr handed his clipboard to Warriors veteran reserve Andre Iguodala. Iguodala then led the huddle and drew up a play, while Kerr and his assistants stood off to the side.
