Kerr on Punch video leak: ‘Because everything is open we are in a difficult position’

Draymond Green’s punch at Jordan Poole at Warriors practice sent shockwaves through the organization, with leaked video of the incident further confusing the NBA champions.

The team’s coach, Steve Kerr, commented on the leak of the footage online, saying the video made things worse. At the same time, he stressed that such situations should remain within groups and private.

His statements in detail:

“That’s why it’s so important to keep this stuff ‘in house’. I’ve been in the league for over 30 years and I’ve seen a lot of crazy stuff. Keeping it private makes it easier for you to deal with. It’s smoother and easier to move forward. next. But when it leaks everything becomes more vulnerable and it affects every player, coaches, but most of all the players. So since everything has come out, the players have to deal with it and answer all these questions. They get into a very difficult position, us everyone finds themselves in a difficult position.

It’s like having a camera in the family and there’s tension. Would you like to discuss this with people? Of course not. You want to manage it internally. That’s always the goal. In 32 years I’ve seen over 20 fistfights in training. This should not go beyond the training center. In this case it came out and that’s the problem. We need to improve as an organization.”
