In today’s Dub Hub:
The changes have begun for the Golden State Warriors this offseason, starting with the coaching staff. According to ESPN’s Anthony Slater, the Warriors’ top two assistant coaches, Terry Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse, will not return to the team after their contracts expired following the season.
Slater reported that both coaches are leaving on good terms, with Stotts informing head coach Steve Kerr late in the regular season that he did not plan on returning next season, while Stackhouse is expected to pursue head coaching opportunities elsewhere.

Stotts just finished his second year as Kerr’s lead assistant and offensive coordinator. His nearly three-decade coaching career includes a nine-season run as head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers. Stotts informed Kerr late in the regular season that he didn’t intend to return and told ESPN he is leaving the Warriors on good terms and remains open to NBA head coaching opportunities.
“I enjoyed my time with Steve, the staff and players,” Stotts said. “My two years there were fulfilling. Nothing but well-wishes.”
The timing is notable, however, considering the news comes just days after Kerr agreed to a multi-year contract to remain with the Warriors. There have been reports that Kerr’s return was conditioned on some adjustments to his coaching staff being made in an effort to adapt to a more modern style of play. With Golden State having secured Kerr for the foreseeable future, he will now need to rebuild his staff with that in mind.
One name Slater mentioned as a potential candidate is former New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green, who previously served as an assistant under Kerr in 2016. Meanwhile, ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel floated another familiar name to Warriors fans: franchise legend Andre Iguodala.
