The National Basketball Association Playoffs started about a month ago, and there is no shortage of former Toreros. Mike Brown, a USD grad who is the head assistant coach for the Golden State Warriors, now has the opportunity to lead the Warriors to an NBA championship. His competition includes another former Torero, James Borrego, who is an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs.
The Warriors are the number one overall seed in the entire playoffs, giving Brown a unique opportunity to lead one of the best teams in league history. Brown took over for Steve Kerr, who is dealing with complications from a back surgery that he had two years ago.
