Baseball discovered a while back that it was best if the coaches followed the advice of their analytics departments in regards to strategy. Managers just need to deal with personalities in the lockerroom and basically get out of the way of the talent without messing things up with the need to over-coach, trying to dazzle everyone because their ego has to put an imprint on the game. I think basketball will get there eventually too, if they aren't there already (Ty Lue is not suddenly some Xs and Os genius .. Ballmer poured a lot of money into analytics and they're feeding him the rotations and matchups). On the otherhand, I think Kidd has a gigantic ego and isn't one to just go with what his analytics department tells him. On one hand, I think Kidd could be great for Luka and bringing in basketball talent. On the other, this could end in a personality trainwreck because well ... it's ended in a personality trainwreck in his other two stops.What if Luka and Kidd pine for the same girl?
