In a move that has stunned the basketball world, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has officially submitted his resignation letter, ending an iconic coaching tenure that included multiple championships and a transformative impact on the franchise.
Sources close to the team report that Kerr’s decision was influenced in part by mounting internal and external pressures, including reported lobbying from former Warriors head coach Mark Jackson, who has allegedly been active behind the scenes in an effort to return to coaching.
The resignation has left the team speechless and the fan base in disbelief. Kerr, known for his calm demeanor and strategic brilliance, reportedly made the announcement in a private team meeting earlier today, citing “recent developments and organizational direction” as key factors in his departure.

Golden State executives are expected to hold a press conference later this week, where major announcements concerning:
