Nick Kerr will lead the G League’s Santa Cruz Warriors into Oceanside’s Frontwave Arena on Wednesday
Santa Cruz Warriors coach Nick Kerr watches players during the team’s basketball practice in Santa Cruz, Calif., Friday, Jan. 12, 2024. Each day, Kerr strives to find a balance between fun and fire while leading Golden State’s developmental G League team minus all the big stars – like Stephen Curry – his famous father, Steve Kerr, gets to work with every day.
Nick Kerr committed to the University of San Diego out of Torrey Pines High School. Steve Kerr retired from the NBA in 2003 after winning his fifth championship, this one as a member of the San Antonio Spurs. The Kerrs relocated to Rancho Santa Fe, where Nick — a middle-schooler — began to think about his future in basketball.
Nick Kerr was named head coach of the Santa Cruz team prior to the 2023-24 season. In his first year, he led the Warriors to the G League’s Western Conference semifinals. Kerr played sparingly across his two stops in college, seeing action in 47 games. It’s something he says has helped him in his coaching career.
The G League is wide open offensively: 30 of the league’s 31 teams average more than 100 points per game. That doesn’t mean Kerr’s players have the green light to play a selfish style of basketball while trying to showcase themselves to NBA clubs. “There’s usually an adjustment with just how much faster our game is,” Kerr said. “It’s so much harder to create an opening in the college game. In our league, everyone is so talented offensively that it’s easier to create an advantage.”
