A few games ago, the announcers said Kidd was the only coach in the NBA that didn't receive a tech this season. To me, that's ridiculous. That means he never goes to bat when his team needs to be stood up for. Sometimes it takes a tech or ejection to start getting some calls go your way or to light a fire under your team.
Watching him on the sidelines, seeing him interact with refs, hearing what how he tries to coach Luka on talking to refs, I think he talks to the refs a lot, but just doesn't let himself lose his cool while talking to them. I don't think that's a bad strategy.
Not very astute ^^^^
