Steve Kerr Becomes Golden State Warriors' All-Time Winningest Coach

Steve Kerr is the new winningest coach in the history of the Golden State Warriors. With the 558th win acquired on March 15, 2025, Steve Kerr rises above the greatest wins record by Al Attles, which is now thrust more severely into the history of the Warriors.

The winning coach record came down to the wire as the Warriors managed to snatch a 97-94 victory from the New York Knicks right inside the Chase Center. Scoring a whopping 28 points to lead all scorers, Stephen Curry turned his brilliance up to 11, along with other major efforts from Draymond Green and Moses Moody. This win spoke of the spirit of the team and some of those strategic things that Steve Kerr does on the sidelines.

Steve Kerr: His Career in Coaching

Steve Kerr was appointed head coach of the Warriors on May 19, 2014. He boasts perhaps one of the most innovative coaching careers in history. Under him, the Warriors have:

  • NBA Champions: Four titles claiming in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022.
  • Six NBA Finals appearances during his tenure are a mark of consistent excellence.
  • Achieved absolutely glorious fame by winning a record-breaking 73 games in a single season in 2015-16, breaking the previous record held by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls under the direction of Kerr back in the day.

The way Kerr coaches is one where the family-and-self-lessness is cult-like, similar to what Attles had during his coaching days. That has been of importance in representing unity and winning games for such a franchise.

It's Al Attles for Reference Point

Before Kerr arrived, Al Attles himself was the reference point, strongly judging coaching dominions over the Golden State Warriors. Al Attles coached the Warriors between April 1970 until October 1983, winning 557 games, and led the team to its first league title in 1975. He addressed the Warriors with integrity and determination-values that Kerr still believes in.

Services To The Players

Kerr scores with his team and the Warriors. A path goes saying that the Warriors win courtesy of that partnership. We saw Stephen Curry grow with brilliance under Kerr; just before this, he became one of a few elite players to have hit six more 3-pointers-more than 4000 shots in his career. Whatever that strong record was, it got bashed by this one, and it looks strong enough to stay long in the books. Clearly, the onslaught has changed since the two have come together: that is his shooting technique merged with Kerr's thoughtful strategies.

Draymond Green, the mind on the court, joining him as one of the most defense-minded and team-oriented leaders, has flourished. And as for the amazing play against the Knicks, there is no doubt that Green played his game.

Recent Arrivals and Their International Impact

Any signs? The Warriors are now positioned as a team competing for consecutive championships with smart additions to its roster. The addition of Jimmy Butler in February 2025 had already made the game change. In the short span since Butler made an entry, the Warriors have bagged 14 wins over the last 16 games. They seem to think that Butler brings two-way play with his ethereal level of skill. But this might have implications; it suggests that the bandwagon is running bears.

Challenges Lying Ahead

Now ranked sixth in the Western Conference with a 39-28 record so far, it would seem as though the Warriors would warrant a playoff push. This mix of veteran experience and lively young blood, together with a leader in Steve Kerr setting standards, has all the makings of a very threatening team.

Celebrating the Milestone

To his friends, former teammates, and the family of Al Attles, nice medallions are charmed into remembrance. Kerr, as always, is modest, putting any success at the golden foot of the Warrior organizational culture and bedrock ethics created mainly by his predecessors, including Attles. He is deeply grateful to survive as a head coach with such a historic franchise.

Indeed, the entry of Steve Kerr-Chevalier as their all-time winningest coach emphasizes both strategic intelligence, character, and linkages to the harmony of his culture. And the remnant foundation of Kerr's legacy is to inspire and measure future champions.
