Warriors add 2 major coaches to staff [reports]

The Golden State Warriors are adding two big-name coaches to their staff. After losing Kenny Atkinson to the top job in Cleveland, Golden State will add former Blazers head coach Terry Stotts and former Vanderbilt head coach Jerry Stackhouse to their staff, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Stotts, per Wojnarowski, will be lead assistant coach. Stackhouse will be an assistant.

The Warriors have been stellar at replacing coaching talent over the years, and both coaches come in with a high pedigree.

Stotts was head coach of the Blazers from 2012-21, where he racked up the second-most wins in Blazers coaching history with 402. He spent the last year, after a 2022 hiatus, as an assistant with the Milwaukee Bucks. It's his second stint with the Warriors. He spent 2004-05 with the team as an assistant under Mike Montgomery.

Stackhouse, meanwhile -- a career 16.9 point-per-game scorer -- was the G-League coach of the year with Raptors 905 in 2017 and parlayed that into an assistant coach job with the Memphis Grizzlies from 2018-19. That led him to Vanderbilt's head coaching job, where he was fired this past season after a 9-23 record in 2024 and 70-92 record overall.
