The New York Post is reporting that a decision from Steve Kerr on accepting the New York Knicks head coaching job could come this weekend, unless the Golden State Warriors are eliminated from the playoffs.
According to reports, Kerr could possibly be intrigued by the Warriors since he keeps his home in San Diego.
However, one thing that can derail Kerr’s getting hired by the Knicks is if the Warriors lose their first-round series to the Clippers on Saturday and coach Mark Jackson is let go. Kerr, whose family lives in San Diego, may listen if approached by the Warriors. Kerr is represented by former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum.
Golden State makes no sense to me.
A major part of the allure of having Kerr in New York is the comfort of knowing that Jackson will be coaching the Knicks and implementing the triangle offense through Kerr. That’s not likely to happen in Golden State.
