Overview

  • The Warriors’ top assistants, Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse, will not return next season after their contracts expired, according to reports published Thursday.
  • Stotts, the lead assistant and offensive coordinator, told Steve Kerr late in the season he planned to leave and said he departs on good terms.
  • Stackhouse, who ran the defense after five years as Vanderbilt’s head coach, is pursuing head-coaching jobs elsewhere.
  • Golden State has started a search for replacements, with former Pelicans coach Willie Green among the names linked by ESPN.
  • Kerr agreed last week to a two-year deal after a 37–45 season, and the team expects some continuity with Kris Weems staying while Chris DeMarco left midseason for the WNBA’s Liberty.
