It looks like there aren't any coach openings right now. Usually teams that are looking for new coaches have fired their old ones by the time the Finals are over; Walton had already accepted the Lakers job almost two months before the Warriors' season ended last year. The fact that the draft is just a couple weeks away makes it seem like firings are less likely.

But, if some time does fire their head coach, Mike Brown should be at the top of their list. And if he decides to take another job, then more power to him. He did a great job here. Vayas con dios.

However, we don't know how things end up with Kerr. Early buzz is that he plans to coach next season, even though things aren't great with his back. When he came back to the sideline, it was because he had achieved "baseline" for the manageable pain he'd had during the season.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Warriors front office has told Brown that he's first in line to take over the coaching spot should Kerr decide he just can't take the pain. And he'd deserve the job. He's a damn good coach and the players like him/respond to him.
