Kerr makes fun of Brown about coaching attire rule change

News surfaced Tuesday night that NBA coaches will not be required to wear sport coats during the 2020-21 season.

Steve Kerr was asked about that news Wednesday afternoon, and decided to go to the sarcastic route with his answer.

"First of all, I'm devastated at the news," the Warriors coach told the media. "I had my brand new line of suits that's coming out actually. So my marketing team is gonna be disappointed that we're not gonna be able to put those on display during games. It's a shame.

"My brand's gonna take a hit, but I'm confident through some other social media exploits I can get my name and face out there a little more -- and attract the attention that I'm seeking."

"I think Mike is gonna buy even more shoes and even more colored eye glasses so that the shoes and the glasses match," Kerr joked. "But Mike is devastated that he's gonna have to wear the same stuff that the rest of us are. It's really gonna be a blow to his ego."

Does the whole staff have to wear the same thing?

"I'm being serious now -- part of the league's agreement is that if a staff is going to wear the polos, then everybody's gotta wear the same one," Kerr said. "So that's what we're gonna do."
