Jason Kidd to coach Nets

Lets all slit our wrists now Mick. Kidd sees the upside & good on him!

Yes I read that Mick, but maybe it was just window dressing? Just saying the right thing knowing the Nets would not pick Sloan.

PJ was 35-19 as interim coach. Not really sure what he did wrong. However I hope Kidd succeeds.

DB5, good point.
Deron's inability to see eye to eye with just about every coach seems to get swept under the rug.

Fair enough.

Deron is the big problem with the Nets IMO. He ran Sloan out of town in Utah, surely he had a bit to do with Johnson being ousted, and apparently didn't see eye to eye with PJ.
If he clashes with his buddy Kidd, it could get interesting.

Thanks Mick appreciated. Will look into it.

I never justified it, I never would justify hitting a chick.
I just said it has nothing to do with him coaching, which was in response to your comment of not an ideal head coaching candidate.
People make mistakes, and are forgiven. Shit his wife stayed with him for another 6 years so she forgave him.

One other point;

Kidd commands respect. His experience, success and talent alone commands the respect of every player in the Brooklyn locker room. That's invaluable to the success of the franchise. So often you hear about player coach conflict, I don't think that's going to happen with JKidd, especially since he's fresh out the league.

Very surprised they took him on as head coach straight away. Probably would have preferred he be an assistant for a few years rather than leaping straight in but the Nets obviously saw something they really liked and pounced. Hope it works well for both parties as I'm a fan of both.

Off court problems from 10 years ago with his wife?
Or DUI last year? Which many have done before. Shouldn't affect anything IMO.

Agree with Karl and Hollins swap. Rumours of Rivers leaving Boston and Clippers hunting him as well.

Kidd will be good I think. He has Frank as his top assistant as well, and is best buddies with Deron which helps (as he is the coach killer!).

Should have gone with Brian Shaw...did they even target Karl?

Heat assistant Fizdale?

Theres too many good coaches out there than to simply go out and hire a player with no coaching experience.
