He said the most difficult players he’s coached have all been National Player of the Year, and that he thinks Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi would be successful coaches. Taurasi would also be the player he would most trust to make a buzzer beater, with Bird as a close second. Kerr also took time to praise Taurasi, saying she’s the women’s basketball player he would most like to coach. Kerr and Taurasi got to know each other when Kerr was in the Phoenix Suns organization. “She was so dynamic as a personality, as a player,” Kerr said. "She was incredible to watch. Her talent just jumped off the page. But it was so fun to see her every day, her enthusiasm. She just had this enthusiasm for the game … It was infectious. You could see the impact she makes, so as a coach that’s what you want is someone who can set a tone and who you’re going to love being around.” [URL="https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-geno-auriemma-and-steve-kerr-get-together-for-talk-20182712-20181228-pn6wvwbuyncy5pl5mwur36eiki-story.html"]‘We’re actually good for the game’: Geno Auriemma and Steve Kerr talk UConn, Taurasi and basketball - Hartford Courant[/URL] [/QUOTE]
