Kerr was an assistant with Popovich at the Tokyo Olympics this summer. That experience will help him and Team USA conduct a smooth transition.

Per ESPN, Kerr will begin his time as the new coach of Team USA at the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup and the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Popovich stepped down as the USA head coach following the 2021 Tokyo Games.
