I think more to coaching than just managing egos. Ever notice how after almost every Warriors timeout, they execute a play and get a guy open or get an easy dunk? That's coaching. Managing rotations, making ideal substitutions, that's all coaching. Even the offseason stuff, getting players prepared, running practices.
I know Luke Walton gets brought up a lot during their historic year but it was Kerr that laid all the groundwork the year before and in the offseason getting them to the point where Walton could succeed. Having great players helps but that doesn't mean Kerr isn't a great coach either.
