Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had some thoughts about the most recent late-season firing of an NBA coach, pointing the finger at big-money owners.
The Denver Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth, on Tuesday, just 11 days after the Memphis Grizzlies fired head coach Taylor Jenkins. These coaches were not only let go just before the start of the postseason, but they were let go from teams that were in solid positioning in the standings.
Speaking with reporters ahead of Tuesday’s Warriors game against the Phoenix Suns, Kerr said he was “shocked, like everyone” about Malone’s dismissal.
