Things are beginning to take shape for all-star weekend in a few weeks. While we don’t yet know who will be participating in the game, we now know the coaches. The Warriors and Hawks and the best teams record-wise in the West and East. Therefore, Mike Dudenholzer and Steve Kerr will serve as head coaches.
For Kerr, he’s the first rookie head coach to earn this honor since Larry Bird.
Atlanta’s Mike Budenholzer and Golden State’s Steve Kerr will be the head coaches for the 2015 All-Star Game.
Both men’s teams clinched their respective conference’s top records through games of Feb. 1 to earn the honor.
Budenholzer’s Hawks have the East’s best record at 35-8, thanks in part to a 14-game winning streak and 28 victories in their last 30 games after Wednesday’s 110-91 triumph over Indiana. He will be the first Hawks All-Star coach since Lenny Wilkens for the 1993-94 season.
