At least it wasn’t as bad as Kevin Durant’s Twitter flub.
Steve Kerr admitted to accidentally tweeting to his 333,000 followers about officials missing a call on James Harden, telling reporters on Friday that he had meant to send a direct message.

“My new iPhone is killing me, I got the 10,” he explained.
He said he started to have problems figuring out the phone on the first day and the errant tweet, which was meant as a direct message to a friend, came on the second day he had it.
Once he realized the mistake, he ran quickly to assistant coach Chris DeMarco for help. The tweet stayed up for only a minute or so, so he was pretty hopeful that no on saw.
“I said what do you think am I going to get away with it?” he said. “He said ‘hell no.'”
He was jokingly asked if he was sure he wasn’t hacked and smacked his forehead in response.
