The Golden State Warriors are reportedly hiring Frank Vogel as an assistant on Steve Kerr's staff, a move that would add a former NBA head coach to the bench. Shams Charania reported the development for, turning a coaching rumor into a concrete personnel change.
Frank Vogel, who most recently served as the Los Angeles Lakers head coach, has been linked to the Warriors for days, and this report is the clearest sign yet that the move is advancing. For readers looking for why his name is suddenly everywhere, the answer is simple: he is being added to one of the NBA's most closely watched coaching staffs.
The reporting also sharpens what had already been hinted at. Marc Stein had previously said Vogel was “poised” to join Kerr's staff, and the new report moves that from possibility toward action. That difference matters because it suggests the conversation is no longer about whether Vogel fits with the Warriors, but about how soon the arrangement becomes official.
One gap remains, and it is the one readers will keep watching: the report does not say when Vogel will officially join the staff. The update that follows will have to answer that directly, along with whatever further detail the Warriors are prepared to share about the move.
