Coaching Criminality: All Things Jason Midd | More Guilty Pleas Than Inbounds Plays

[ItsGoTime]

So, a working theory. 

Kidd as a player didn’t like coaches when he was on the court. The BKN story told us some stars don’t want coaches to interfere with their game. Luka was not all that happy with RC’s in game coaching and sounded like he was tuning him out toward the end.

Is Kidd coaching his players to be good pick up ballers? I don’t think it’s about him being bad at drawing up inbound plays, I think he’s all about getting a good decision maker the ball and let them go to work. That’s what he wanted as a player, that’s what he’s doing as a coach. 

I also think it’s what Luka and Kyrie want from him and why there is so much talk of players wanting to play for him.

I don’t know any of this for sure, that’s why it’s a working theory. To me though, it just explains a lot of the comments Kidd has made to the media and why he gets so perplexed at some lines of questioning.

On that note, I do believe organized ball with a coach who coaches players up is better than this glorified pick up game style.
