Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, an architect of four franchise championships, has agreed on a two-year, $35 million contract extension that'll make him the highest-paid coach in NBA history, agents Rick Smith and Dan Eveloff of Priority Sports told ESPN on Friday.

Kerr's deal was set to expire at the end of the season, and his $17.5 million a season extension takes him through the 2025-26 season.

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich makes more annually, sources say, but he holds the dual title of president and coach.
