Ron Adams joined the Warriors' coaching staff shortly after Steve Kerr was hired in May 2014.

That could be changing in 2021-22 with the Warriors undergoing some changes in the coaching ranks.
"Ron Adams is still expected to remain on in some capacity, perhaps even an increased one," The Athletic's Anthony Slater writes. "All the shifting roles and responsibilities haven’t yet been finalized."
Marcus Thompson of The Athletic added more context on the Warriors Plus Minus podcast.
"From what I'm told, there's some talk about Ron Adams getting back in the mix more," he said. "I don't know if it's gonna be front of the bench."
