The Bucks contemplated firing Jason Kidd after last season because of how disconnected he was with most of the team because of his "old-school approach" to coaching, sources told Jared Zwerling of Sports Illustrated.

According to Zwerling's sources, Kidd would "play mind games" with some of the players during film sessions and timeouts, talking trash and not comforting players. Zwerling's sources add that along with the lack of communication between Kidd and the players, management also felt that Kidd wanted too much personnel control.

He just was a bad x and o coach like how Scott brooks is. Plus he plays players too long without rest. Kidd should have been an assistant with a great coach.

Dude was horrible

Was it last week they up by 3 with 3 seconds left and i think he told one of the players to missed the free throw...nikka u make the 3 u win easily

Then also this month team up by 4 and he telling players to foul and the announcers was like WTF u doing it's only 20 seconds left[/QUOTE]

I remember this :dead:

In post game he said some shyt like "if we foul them they have to foul us so then it becomes a freethrow game and i am confident in my guys making freethrows"

And breh was like...but you are already ahead in the game though :baldhuh::howsway:

"Very surprising," Carlisle said. "All I can tell you is I'm really shocked by it. It was very surprising because he's put a real stamp on that team in so many ways with their competitiveness, their defense, their development of young guys, and they've had injuries.

But I'm sure he'll be fine. He's always going to land on his feet. He's a hall of fame player who has done a lot of great things as a coach."

It's too early to speculate about whether Kidd would be a fit back in Dallas on the front-office staff. His game was far, far different than that of Dennis Smith Jr.'s, so Kidd as a mentor to the rookie would seem to be unlikely.

Said Nowitzki about his old friend's firing: "I guess nobody saw this one coming. But that's how this league is. It's pretty fragile. That's my guy. He's been around this business so long. When teams go through a little funk, it's usually never the players. It's the coach's fault. He's got an unbelievable basketball mind. He'll get plenty of opportunities in this league."
