"I was raised the right way in the right culture by Steve Kerr, DeMarco told reporters. I've grown as a coach and I want to do the same for anybody else on my staff."
"I've spent a lot of time on the defensive side of the ball as a coach, and started to develop offensively, DeMarco said. I've done player development, I've been a video coordinator, I've been a scout and done everything I can outside of being a head coach in the NBA."
"That's what I saw over and over again with the Steph Currys, the Draymond Greens, the Klay Thompsons and all the veterans we would bring in these guys are all pros, and they all would teach the younger players how to work, DeMarco said."
"I'm very excited, mainly because of the championship pedigree, DeMarco said. For those who have won at the highest level, it's so hard to get there. We have an organization that's been there and a team full of players who have been there."
Chris DeMarco is the new head coach of the New York Liberty. He spent nearly 14 years with the Golden State Warriors, progressing from a 2012 video intern to a lead assistant under Steve Kerr. His coaching foundation emphasizes defensive expertise, growing offensive acumen, player development, and cultivating a staff culture modeled after the Warriors. The Liberty enter the DeMarco era with a 2024 championship pedigree and star players including Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones and Breanna Stewart. The organization replaced Sandy Brondello after a first-round exit, leaving an experienced core for DeMarco to lead.
