It appears an Olympic gold medal as a head coach is all USA Basketball's Steve Kerr wants to see, as he is reportedly not expected to continue with the men's team.
NBA reporter Marc Stein reports that Kerr is done leading the United States to gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Stein adds that either Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra or Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue are expected to replace Kerr, who had both on his staff in Paris.

Kerr has been a part of Team USA since 2016, when the Golden State Warriors head coach joined legendary San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich's staff for USA Basketball.
Team USA would go on to win gold that year and the next Olympics in Tokyo in 2021. Kerr would then take over as head coach after Popovich stepped down following the gold medal win.
In 2023, Kerr's leadership was questioned by some after finishing fourth at the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

But this year's performance at the Paris Olympics saw Team USA battle Serbia to reach the gold medal game, where they would eventually defeat the host country, France, in thrilling fashion.
During the 2024 Olympics, Kerr was criticized for benching players like Jayson Tatum and Joel Embiid, both players who have been named to the NBA's All-Pro first team, for the entirety of some games. He even called himself an idiot after leaving Tatum out of Team USA's first game in Paris.
However, with a star-studded roster that included Steph Curry, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and more, Kerr had to make some tough decisions alongside his coaching staff to allocate playing time based on matchups.

Despite the criticism, Team USA went 6-0 in Paris, earning the country its fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal.
Whoever USA Basketball chooses as Kerr's replacement will likely be the head coach leading the team in Los Angeles in 2028.
Spoelstra is an experienced candidate considering his record of 750 wins and 527 losses as an NBA head coach with the Miami Heat over the past 17 seasons. He has also led his team to six NBA Finals, including three consecutive title wins in 2012 and 2013.
Spoelstra is also part of Popovich's coaching staff, which could be a big help for USA Basketball.
As for Lue, he has a slightly better career record, 312-217, having coached the Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers. Lue’s team, which featured James and Kyrie Irving, among others, defeated Kerr and the Warriors in the legendary 2016 NBA Finals, when the Cavs trailed three games to one before rallying to win it all.

Kerr will continue to coach the Warriors, but will step aside to allow another coach to lead Team USA in the future.
