Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had the first Twitter gaffe of his career on Thursday evening, when he sent out a tweet commenting on a James Harden highlight, calling what he saw as an uncalled traveling violation an “embarrassment.” Kerr quickly deleted the tweet, but not before a screenshot was taken.

At Friday’s shoot around, Kerr laughed about the incident with reporters, and said he was trying to send a direct message, but that he hasn’t quite figured out how to use his new iPhone X. It’s not the first issue he’s had with the new device.
After deleting the tweet, Kerr asked assistant coach Chris DeMarco if he got away with it.
“Hell no,” DeMarco told Kerr.
