Warriors Sign Head Coach Don Nelson To New Contract

The Golden State Warriors and Head Coach Don Nelson have reached a new contractual agreement, it was announced today by Warriors’ President Robert Rowell. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not announced.

Nelson, 67, returned to Golden State for his second stint as the team’s head coach prior to the 2006-07 season, leading the Warriors to a 42-40 record, a second place finish in the Pacific Division and their first trip to the NBA Playoffs in 13 years. Additionally, Nelson guided Golden State to a First Round triumph over the top-seeded Dallas Mavericks, marking the first time that a #8 seed had defeated a #1 seed in a seven-game series.

“We think Don is a great coach,” said Rowell. “His style has always been well accepted by players and is a natural fit for our team. I know that everyone is anxious and looking forward to the exciting, successful brand of basketball that he will once again orchestrate for our team and our fans.”
