There’s a new profile article on Bleacher Report about Golden State Warrior’s current head coach, Steve Kerr. It includes a lot of interesting bits and quotes, and these ones are my favorite:
Popovich, then as now, was not surprised either. “The guy is there before and after practice, running and shooting until he’s dripping wet,” he told reporters before the ’03 Finals. “He hasn’t stopped practicing every day, working every day, even though he hasn’t played.”
“Life is too short to be with jerks,” Popovich added. “This is a business, and it’s not the most important thing in the world.”
No, you can never have too many shooters.
And, no, Kerr does not think basketball is the most important thing in the world, or that his team’s very public failure to win another title last year—the seventh ring coming down to the seventh game—was the end of it. “You’ll wish that you had won that game forever,” Kerr says of the Game 7 loss to his former team. “But you go home and you have dinner with your family and you take a vacation and you remember it’s not life or death.”

Steve Kerr played college ball for my home team, the Arizona Wildcats. He was known here for his hard work and classy composure. No surprise he’s been successful as a coach at the highest level.
