Steve Kerr Golden State Warriors Horns Options by Wes Kosel

Written by Coach Peterman

I have coached at the NCAA Division 2 (Southwestern Oklahoma State University), NAIA (USAO), and JUCO Levels (Blinn College and Carl Albert State College) as well as high school. I just felt that fellow coaches especially young coaches need to constantly work on their “game”. Just like the basketball players that we coach. We as coaches need to improve ourselves. That is my story and why I do this blog.

Steve Kerr Golden State Warriors Horns Options by Wes Kosel

Attached are three horns options used by Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. In his first season as a head coach, Kerr has the Warriors a game away from an NBA Title. The Warriors have been the most efficient team in the league this season leading the NBA in games won, field goal percentage, 3-point field goal percentage, assists per game, and points per game. The Warriors jumped from 51 wins in 2013-2014 to 67 wins in 2014-2015. In these horns options, Kerr uses quick-hitting actions to get open shots for his best shooters (Curry and Thompson). As it has been all season, Curry & Thompson have always been willing to make the extra pass for an open shot. These options are included in the plays as well.

In this play, Curry starts in the right corner. The point guard dribbles right then left off of a staggered ball-screen from 5 and 4. As 1 dribbles left, 4 rolls into the lane and 3 sets a cross-screen for 2. 1 looks to hit 4 at the elbow or pass to Curry in the corner for a shot.

1 passes to 5 at the high post then makes a cut to the basket off of a screen from 4. If 1 isn’t open, 1, 2, and 3 clear to the left side of the floor as 4 screens for 5.

In this play, 4 screens down for 5. Both sprint up to set a ball-screen for 1. 1 dribbles off of one of the ball-screens. Whichever way he chooses, the ball-side screen rolls and the opposite screen pops.
