Steve Kerr, the coach of the Golden State Warriors, is known for his time playing under Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich, but what about his college coach? His college coach, Lute Olson, also clearly made an impression. Kerr wrote, "The thing about Coach Olson was that he created a family atmosphere for
us. We admired him and respected him, but feared him a bit too. The best
coaches have that. Fear and respect, a combo of both. You just can’t
run a successful team or operation without that discipline and
structure, but you also want the human side, the family side, the
connection. Lute provided all that."
No huge surprise - discipline and care. How to accomplish that as a coach?
