Why is “Steve Kerr” trending?

Steve Kerr says he is unsure when he will step away from coaching

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is drawing search interest after reports compared his future to the situations of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Several outlets, including ClutchPoints, say Kerr has not set a date for his retirement from coaching and that his thinking on the subject has shifted over time. He is described as being in the same stage of his career as the veteran players he has coached for more than a decade.

Coverage also looked back at the Warriors' recent past. Kerr reportedly considered stepping away after a previous season before agreeing to a new contract over the summer, according to ClutchPoints. He reflected on the departures of Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson, which outlets framed as the end of the team's championship run. Separately, Curry and Green have been discussed in pieces about how much longer they might play with Golden State, including Green's contract situation and the 15th NBA season he is preparing for.
