In an announcement that has taken the NBA world by storm, the Golden State Warriors revealed that former team president Rick Welts is making a sensational return — as the team’s new Head Coach.
The unexpected move has sent waves of excitement through the Warriors fan base and the broader basketball community, many of whom see this as a bold yet inspiring step for the future of the franchise.
“This is the best news we could hope for,” said one Warriors executive. “Rick Welts is a visionary, a leader, and someone who truly understands the culture of winning.”
A Legacy of Excellence
Welts, who served as the Warriors’ president from 2011 to 2021, is widely credited with helping build the modern dynasty that won three NBA championships in five years.

His return is seen not just as a strategic move, but a cultural revival.
