Kidd has a checkered coaching history. His first job was the Nets where he tried to foment a management overthrow for his own benefit. The fallout from that drove him to MKE, where he improved the team and the record, but got a reputation as a hard ass (remember midnight practices after an away game loss, over a holiday). A stint on the LALs bench staff seemed to mellow him a bit, so that he was more palatable to Cuban when the DAL HC position suddenly became available.

4 years and 2 WCF + an NBA Finals isn't bad considering the injury armageddon last season (fortuitously) just missed the POs by one game.
