Steve Kerr isn’t moving on from coaching just yet.
The former Arizona great has agreed to a two-year extension as head coach of the Golden State Warriors, according to ESPN, ending speculation that he might retire from coaching.
Kerr will be entering his 13th season as head coach of the Warriors. He has led the franchise to four NBA championships since 2014-15 but has missed the postseason in two of the last three seasons.
Kerr has a 957-604 career record as the Warriors head coach with eight playoff appearances.
Kerr is expected to remain the highest-paid coach in the NBA, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Anthony Slater and Ramona Shelburne. He made $17.5 million this past season.
Kerr’s decision to remain with the Warriors means he’ll get to coach Steph Curry for at least one more year, as Curry is signed through the 2026-27 season.
Kerr, at age 60, still has plenty more years in the tank, whether he wants to one day get into broadcasting or work in basketball in another capacity.
Kerr starred at Arizona from 1983-1988. He helped lead the Wildcats to their first Final Four in 1987-88 before embarking on a 15-year playing career.
