Joe Lacob's current mindset: The Warriors are Mike Brown's team now

Share

The Warriors are 10-0 in the playoffs under interim head coach Mike Brown.

Following Golden State's sweep of the Spurs, Joe Lacob was asked several questions about the team's head coach situation.

1) Is it Mike's team now?

“You know, it is. He’s coaching on the floor. But Steve (Kerr) is obviously around, there, very involved. And he put in the systems we operate under and the style of play. He has a tremendous amount of responsibility for us getting here.

"But Mike has done a terrific job.”

2) How comfortable are you with this two-coach approach you have going?

“I’m not really thinking about it. We have to make it work. That’s our situation.”

3) At this point is Mike Brown your coach going into the Finals?

“That’s up to Steve, honestly. We’ll see how he feels. We’ve got nine days between now and then. I certainly would hope he’d feel better. But if not, we’re prepared to go the way we are. Whatever it takes, our players are ready.” 

On Monday night, NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole spoke with Kerr.

“Mike (Brown) is doing great," Kerr began. "He’s such a wonderful human being. He’s so unselfish and team-oriented. I’m proud of him and the job he’s doing, along with the rest of the staff. I wish I could be out there with them. And maybe I will. I don’t know. We’ll see.

“He’s a great partner. And we’re in this together, obviously, but he’s got to make decisions with the staff without me. He’s done a great job of navigating the games. We’re undefeated, so he’s doing something right.”
