Atkinson stated, "As a coach, I don't think I was a complete coach until I came here and, quite honestly, learned from the best. The best players, the best coach." This highlights the transformative impact of working with Kerr and the Warriors.
Atkinson recalls, "I got a lot more out of this than anything I brought to the table. It was just great. Like I said, it completed me as a coach." This emphasizes his growth through observation on the Warriors.
On Kerr's coaching style, Atkinson noted, "The joy Kerr fosters, the championship move he has made, his emotional control in big games and his ability to coach star players were key attributes he tried to learn." This underscores Kerr's influential approach.
He also mentioned, "The Bulls' passing, and Kerr's evolution of bringing triangle elements into his Warriors system, was magical for a coach to see up close." This points to the innovative strategies that shaped Atkinson's coaching.
