Steve Kerr screamed at the refs, then immediately smiled at Gregg Popovich

Steve Kerr is just happy Pop was impressed.

Steve Kerr knows that sometimes NBA coaches have to pretend to be angry at the refs. It's a way to stand up for players or wake up their team. He wanted the tech and got it, but it clearly was an act. He even ended the performance with a complicit smile to Gregg Popovich.

Good for Kerr. If your job involves yelling at people, try to enjoy yourself.
