Frank Vogel expected to join Golden State Warriors’ coaching staff

Vogel will serve as an associate head coach on Kerr’s staff, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, and will fill the vacancy left by Terry Stotts.

Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse were two of Kerr’s top assistants this past season before departing. Another longtime assistant, Chris DeMarco, had also left Kerr’s staff in January to become the New York Liberty’s head coach.

Vogel is expected to serve as the Warriors’ primary defensive game-planner as part of his new role. DeMarco and Stackhouse were in charge of those responsibilities in recent years.

Vogel was most recently with the Dallas Mavericks as an assistant under Jason Kidd. He was head coach of the Lakers from 2019 to 2022, leading the franchise to its 17th NBA title in 2020 after beating the Miami Heat in six games while in the NBA bubble due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

He had also led the Indiana Pacers, as head coach, to two Eastern Conference Finals in 2013 and 2014.
