I think watching Miami and Mavs gives a good view on what a good (elite) coach is compared to Kidd. Spoelstra is constantly adjusting his team play based on the kind of personel they have. They were playing very much different basketball with Butler. Without him, they recognized that they need to go super fast to have a chance and they are still competing. Miami's starting PG is Davion Mitchel, a "reject" from Sacramento. Their only guy who can really get his shot is Herro, who played his first game this season.
Kidd is just playing one system and looking for ideal players to fit his system. It worked with elite creators, it looks horribly without them. When you look at Miami and Mavs rosters, even with all the guys injured on the Mavs, would you really expect Miami to be 12:6 and Mavs 5:14?
