Florida Coach Todd Golden Shoots Down NBA Rumors
- On Monday, Yahoo Sports' Kevin O'Connor reported the Golden State Warriors would pursue Florida Gators head coach Todd Golden if Steve Kerr departs, citing owner Joe Lacob's prior relationship with Golden from his San Francisco Dons coaching days.
- Last week, the Golden State Warriors' season ended with a play-in tournament loss to the Phoenix Suns, leaving Steve Kerr to evaluate his future after 12 seasons and four NBA championships with the franchise.
- With a 160-77 record over four seasons in Gainesville, Todd Golden earned the 2025 National Championship and 2026 SEC Coach of the Year honors, having previously coached the San Francisco Dons for three years.
- Draymond Green expressed doubt about Kerr's return, saying "I hope he's our coach next season," while ESPN analysts cautioned that hiring an inexperienced college coach poses complications for veterans Stephen Curry and Green in their final years.
- Assistant coaches Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse remain viable alternatives; Stotts has 13 seasons of NBA experience including a 2019 conference finals appearance with the Portland Trail Blazers, while Luke Walton previously guided the Warriors to a 39-4 record before being fired twice by the Lakers and Kings.
