Golden State Warriors big man Kevon Looney has opened up about how Steve Kerr makes the entire team better.
Now in his seventh season with the Warriors, Kevon Looney has learned a lot from coach Steve Kerr. This is also the reason why the Dubs head coach has always been his idea of a “great” mentor.
“A great coach to me installs discipline in his players but also gives them enough rope to give them that confidence,” Looney said on 95.7 The Game's “Morning Roast” via NBC Sports. “Steve [Kerr] always talks about being fast, loose and discipline. That been our motto for years here at the Warriors.”
Further revealing how Kerr infuses the Warriors with his winning mentality, Looney said that unlike other NBA coaches who use specific approaches, Kerr boosts their confidence by giving them “a lot of freedom.”
Looney even stressed that Kerr's coaching style has worked well for all of them and it is taking the Warriors' game “to another level.”
“[Coach Kerr] He gives players a lot of freedom, but also has the ability to reel them in, ya know,” he pointed out. “All the new guys talk about how much freedom they have here and how open it is and how much confidence Steve gives the players. That's the biggest thing. Confidence is key. At this level, a lot of guys have talent but when you have the freedom and the green light to do what you do, it takes your game to another level.”
