A lot of Arizona Wildcats hoops flair at the Golden State game. Jud Buechler sitting behind the bench that included Kerr and his assistants Luke Walton and Bruce Fraser. Andre Iguodala came off the bench to play.

Steve Kerr slaps fives with several friends, including ex-NBA player Jud Buechler, sitting behind the bench after 1st win as Warriors coach.

Shouting out assignments (and at the refs) is a lot different than speaking into a headset microphone while broadcasting.

Steve Kerr lost his voice in his first game.

Kerr is already making history.

Steve Kerr becomes the first Warriors coach since 2002 to get a win in his head coaching debut in the season opener.
