Steve Kerr explained how his coach in the Chicago Bulls, the legendary Phil Jackson, influenced his coaching style.
The head coach of the Golden State Warriors admitted that Jackson, and Gregg Popovich, significantly affected his coaching style.
“We talked a lot about the triangle. He had searched for an offense for many years that would tie together with his philosophy. I had never heard anybody say something like that before.
The triangle was not just an offense to run, it was part of a whole philosophy of teamwork and connectivity. And I totally felt it when I was playing there. I never felt more important as a player than I did in Chicago.
For me, That was ‘Strength in Numbers. I wanted that same philosophy of everybody being valued, everybody touching the ball. Everybody being empowered. That was so powerful to me as a player. And all that came from Phil,” Kerr told ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.
