Apparently the NBA has some sort of rule that doesn't give assistant or interim coaches wins. Somewhat of an issue this season because of the Warriors undefeated start and their regular head coach being out with an illness the whole time.
Quote:
Luke Walton can be recognized for what he's done in guiding the Golden State Warriors to a historic start, even though his record as an interim coach is technically 0-0.
The NBA issued a statement Tuesday clarifying rules regarding coaching records. The league said the head coach of record, in this case Steve Kerr, is credited with team wins and losses. That means Kerr is 19-0 even though he has been sidelined since training camp because of complications from offseason back surgery.
