Former Los Angeles Lakers coach Frank Vogel is expected to join Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors this season.
Vogel will serve as an associate head coach on Kerr’s staff, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, and will fill the vacancy left by Terry Stotts.
Stotts and Jerry Stackhouse were two of Kerr’s top assistants this past season before departing. Another longtime assistant, Chris DeMarco, had also left Kerr’s staff in January to become the New York Liberty’s head coach.
Vogel is expected to serve as the Warriors’ primary defensive game-planner as part of his new role. DeMarco and Stackhouse were in charge of those responsibilities in recent years.
