Warriors coach Don Nelson will return to the team for the 2010-11 season.

Nelson said Tuesday night that he would honor the final year of his contract and Golden State general manager Larry Riley said that would be the case barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Last week Nelson became the NBA's all-time winningest coach.

"I really like the players in the other room. I think they play the game the right way," Nelson said. "There's a very strong bond in there, especially with our younger guys. ... There's a whole lot of positives going on in the other room. My motivation is to do a good job and develop the team and do what coaches do -- and I'm under contract to do that."
