All about Steve Kerr's son Nick Kerr promoted to Warriors coaching staff

Steve Kerr's son Nicholas Kerr has been involved with basketball since high school. Despite being the son of one of the greatest coaches and coaching the G-League team, he has largely been out of the headlines.

Nick was born in Cleveland and raised in San Diego. He attended Torrey Pines High School and later played college basketball for the San Diego Toreros and California Golden Bears.

According to ESPN, before he took the coaching position in the G-League, he worked as a graduate assistant with the Golden Bears and as an intern with Gregg Popovich's San Antonio Spurs.

Moreover, Kerr and his son have also worked together before. For three years, Nick worked in the player development department as the video coordinator.

Four years ago, in 2021, the Warriors appointed Kerr's son for the assistant coaching position with the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G-League. Two years later, he made his way up to the top and was appointed as the head coach of the team.

In the 11 seasons that Kerr has coached the Golden State Warriors, he has set a very high standard for the coaching position. He has won four titles and 104 playoff games as the Warriors' head coach.
