Steve Kerr Not Expected to Return as USA Basketball Head Coach: Report

It seems like just one Olympic gold medal as a head coach is all USA Basketball's Steve Kerr wants to see, as he is not expected to continue with the men's team.

NBA reporter Marc Stein reports that Kerr finished his point guard career with the United States, which won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Stein adds that Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra or Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue are expected to replace Kerr, who had both on his staff in Paris.

Kerr has been with Team USA since 2016, when the Golden State Warriors head coach joined legendary San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich's staff for USA Basketball.

The U.S. team would go on to win gold that year and the next Olympics in Tokyo in 2021. Kerr would then take over as head coach after Popovich resigned following the gold medal win.

In 2023, Kerr's leadership was questioned by some after finishing fourth at the 2023 FIBA ​​World Cup.

But this year's performance at the Paris Olympics saw Team USA fight back against Serbia to reach the gold medal final, where they ultimately beat hosts France in thrilling fashion.

During the 2024 Olympics, Kerr was criticized for benching players like Jayson Tatum and Joel Embiid, both NBA first-team All-Pros, for entire games. He even called himself an idiot after leaving Tatum out of Team USA's first game in Paris.

However, with a star-studded roster that includes Steph Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and more, Kerr has had to make some tough choices with his coaching staff about how to allocate playing time based on matchups.

Despite the criticism, the U.S. team went 6-0 in Paris, giving the country its fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal.

Whoever USA Basketball chooses to replace Kerr will likely be the head coach who leads the team to Los Angeles in 2028.

Spoelstra is an experienced candidate given his 750-527 record as an NBA head coach with the Miami Heat over the past 17 seasons. He also led his team to six NBA Finals appearances, including three wins with back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013.

Spoelstra is also part of Popovich's coaching family tree, which could be very helpful for USA Basketball.

Lue, meanwhile, has a slightly better career record at 312-217, having coached the Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers. Lue's team, which featured James and Kyrie Irving, beat Kerr and the Warriors in the legendary 2016 NBA Finals, when the Cavs trailed three games to one before coming back to win it all.

Kerr will continue to coach the Warriors, but will step down to allow another coach to lead Team USA in the future.
