Unfortunately it sounds like Sean Sweeney didn’t want to leave and Mavs just didn’t do enough to keep him.

Another Mavs source insists the franchise did in fact try to keep him, but my other source was adamant, as well.
@townbrad
In the end, I’m told, Sweeney viewed the Spurs job as taking on more responsibility, another step to becoming a head coach. Jason Kidd is an established coach with a Finals and 2 conference finals. In that sense, though he loves Dallas, Sweeney had a glass ceiling. It’s more about that than the associate head coach title.
Thanks for adding in. This was pretty sloppy by Brad. I am already on high alert for Mavs dysfunction. Maybe it is true, maybe it is not. Putting that out there is messy though. I would like to see a heartfelt message from Kidd and organization. It probably isn’t bad for Sweeney to leave Kidd and experience something else. Maybe there is more but I just want to see this organization treat people well and appreciate their work. It seems like they never do it.
