Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr admitted that he failed in one key area during the team's tumultuous 2022-23 season, plagued by team chemistry issues, a terrible road record, and failure to defend their NBA title.

The 57-year-old tactician said he failed to connect the group to achieve their goal.

"I will say that I feel like I failed last year in connecting the group. I have taken a lot of time this summer to think about last year, things I could have and should have done differently. I really believe that sometimes losing sort of forces you to reassess and reevaluate," Kerr said.

The 2016 NBA Coach of the Year is excited about returning next season with a renewed focus, energy, and spirit from the entire group, starting with him as the coach.
