Jerry Stackhouse, who served as the head coach of the Vanderbilt Commodores from 2019 until this past season, was hired as an assistant coach by Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Stackhouse was hired alongside longtime NBA head coach Terry Stotts, who will serve as Kerr’s lead assistant.
Stackhouse finished up an incredible professional career in 2013 and started working as an assistant coach with the Toronto Raptors in 2015. He had a short stint as the head coach of the Raptors 905 G-League squad, and spent one season as an assistant for the Memphis Grizzlies before taking over for Bryce Drew at Vanderbilt in the 2019-20 season.
The former North Carolina star went 20-37 in his first two seasons with the Commodores before breaking through with a 19-17 season in 2021-22, followed by a 22-15 campaign and SEC Coach of the Year award in 2022-23.
However, things fell apart for Stackhouse and Vanderbilt this past season, as the team went just 9-23 and 4-14 in SEC play.
Vanderbilt ultimately let Stackhouse go at the conclusion of the season, hiring Mark Byington from James Madison as his replacement.
Now the two-time NBA All-Star will get back to the professional ranks to work with Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Golden State’s young core as they look to stay relevant in the post Klay Thompson era.
