For the second time in the last couple weeks, the Golden State Warriors have dumped an assistant coach.

First, it was Brian Scalabrine, who was reassigned by Warriors’ head coach Mark Jackson.

Now, according to Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle, assistant coach Darren Erman has been relieved of his duties.

According to Diamond Leung of The Bay Area News Group, the firing is not related to the demotion of Scalabrine.
