The Warriors coach admitted that he was wrong for blaming and becoming angry on Will Richard after Brandin Podziemski's horrible pass.
In his appearance on 95.7 The Game's Willard & Dibs, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expressed regret after his viral outburst against Will Richard from last weekend's 110-107 loss against the New York Knicks.

Particularly, Kerr is remorseful for blaming Richard after it was obviously observed that Brandin Podziemski committed the turnover upon a bad pass.
“That was an unfortunate one, I blamed the wrong guy on that one,” Kerr said. “I was upset about Will’s two turnovers in a row because he had gotten a foul for a push off just before. But the angle that I had from the bench.
"I thought he could have corralled it, I should say – then I saw it on tape later and I saw he was trying to save it from going out of bounds, and it was really [Brandin Podziemski’s] fault on the pass itself.”
After a Knicks turnover during the final minutes of the first half, Podziemski threw an outlet pass that was too long for Richard. Richard attempted a behind-the-back pass to save the ball from going out of bounds, which resulted in a turnover.
Kerr was caught irate over the play that was made by the rookie.
“Turnovers are my No. 1 pet peeve. We had nine turnovers in that second quarter,” Kerr added. “I probably took it out on Will when I should have taken it out on the whole team, and that particular play was Brandin’s fault, and I acknowledged it at halftime.”
