I think this is smart. It is a big jump to put a guy on the bench with no coaching experience....no matter how well liked he is or how good of a player he was. The best route is probably make him a deep coach who sits behind the bench and let him grow into the role.
Yes, Kidd says that it is easy from outside that you want to be a coach, but in practice, it's hard and not for everyone. So they are thinking about getting Barea and Tyson in to help coach in the summer, to give them a feel for it, and see if they really want to do it after all.
