Report: Steve Kerr Favored to Replace Gregg Popovich as USA Basketball Coach

Warriors coach Steve Kerr is the favorite to replace Gregg Popovich as the head of USA Basketball, Marc Stein reports.

Kerr, 56, served as an assistant coach on Popovich's staff as Team USA won gold in Tokyo. He is a three-time champion as a head coach in addition to winning five titles as a player. As Golden State's coach, he hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy in 2015, '17 and '18.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is also a candidate to replace Popovich at the 2024 Paris Olympics, though his candidacy may be hurt by having no previous Olympic experience, per Stein.
