The two candidates to replace Steve Kerr on Team USA
After winning the gold at the Olympic Games, the Warriors' head coach has decided to end his time with the United States National Team
The era of Steve Kerr with Team USA has come to an end. After achieving the ultimate goal of becoming Olympic champions by shining at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the coach of the Golden State Warriors has stepped aside to focus fully on the Bay Area franchise within the NBA. But who will succeed Kerr in the position?
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the selection process is very close. In fact, right now there are only two candidates vying to become the new face of the United States' bench for upcoming international events. These two names are Erik Spoelstra and Tyronn Lue.
Both have been part of Steve Kerr's coaching staff during the Olympic Games, so they already have FIBA experience. They are two of the best coaches in the world and hold very comfortable positions in their respective benches at Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA.
In search of new challenges
Both Spoelstra and Lue have already won everything in the NBA. Therefore, it is natural that they want to expand their horizons as coaches. Additionally, their extensive list of achievements makes them authoritative figures among NBA stars who will want to compete for Team USA in the future, both in the World Cup and in the 2028 Olympics, which will also be in Los Angeles, where the obligation to win gold will be stronger than ever.
