He never impressed me as a coach, especially after I heard him talk.

Fuck no. Not only is he a bad coach, but he's a classless douchebag to boot.

There’s no reason that Bucks team shouldn’t be top 4 in the East. I was hoping they would decide to make some changes to the roster over firing Kidd for selfish reasons but this was the right thing to do. Kidd has been really bad in Milwaukee. Stotts would coach circles around him, like literal circles with his flow offense.

Firing Stotts and hiring Kidd would make me seriously consider dropping my season seats.

If Kidd were a good coach he'd be able to pull off next level shit like this

Needs to be an assistant coach under a boss for several years. Extremely high BBIQ. The driven personality which helps as a player hinders as a leader. To become a palatable Big Cheese he needs aging and seasoning.

are you stalking my posts? when that was posted, the Bucks were winning.....I don't dig back in history but my post was based on the coach segment NBA.com had awhile ago.....all the coaches there thought he was a great coach...I still don't think he's a bad coach but he's lost this talented Bucks team....so in the PRESENT.....I say...no....no way.....the Bucks should be a top eastern conf team and they've taken a big step back.....a lot of folks said Nate was a horrible coach and he's doing a great job in Indiana, but rather than credit him....we should just reference his failures in Portland eh?

That's literally 2/3rds the referee's fault. I hate how it's a tech but not a correctable error.

I think Stotts is a better coach but I remembered vaguely that some folk or other said Kidd outcoached Stotts (I remembered because I was watching the game while my friend was in from the east coast to visit, and that loss was really disappointing). So I just did a search to find it. Why are you so defensive about someone using the search function on the forum?

well I've posted about 35 thousand blips around here...when someone digs one up to show my contradictions...I find it to be baiting...all good my friend...I have a ton of posts about keeping Victor Claver too.....and 5 years ago I though Meyers would be our starting center...recently I had an argument in OT about some silly shit and deleted half a dozen of my posts.....the person I argued with took screen shots of my posts and reposted them in huge font.....I think that's just wrong.....sorry if I projected that on you....

Frayed relationships in organization? I thought he dumped the Nets because of close great relationship with the organization? He is a backstabbing, wife beating.... ass.
On July 1, 2014, the Milwaukee Bucks secured Kidd's coaching rights from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for two second-round draft picks in 2015 and 2019.[58] The move did not come without controversy, as it was reported that Kidd had been seeking more management power over the Nets' general manager Billy King and after being denied began talks with the Bucks even though they still had a coach under contract in Larry Drew.[59] He later stated that he felt the Nets truly did not want him nor were they committed to building a contender.[60] In his return to Brooklyn on November 19, 2014, he was greeted with heavy boos and jeers.[61]

This is a huge reason I wouldn't want him here.....his BBIQ though I do not question for a second

The CIA already has a staff of 5 busy people assigned to our board, taking screen shots of every post. That poster must be one of them. They are the moderators for sure.

If he were fine coaching the rest of the season on an interim basis, as a try-out, I'd be down. At worst, he's no better/worse than Tater Totts. But as a defensive, pass-first HOF PG I'd be interested to see what he could do with a Dame-lead team.

Hi first year as a coach, he had Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Jason Terry, Andrei Kirilenko and Shaun Livingston. Sure, Garnett and Pierce were starting to get long in the tooth, but several of those other guys were still in their primes. They won 44 games, the best season of his coaching career.
Since then, his teams have generally underperformed (career coaching record 183 - 190), including this this year's Bucks team.
No thanks. I'll stick with Stotts. He may not be perfect, but Jason Kidd has never "coached up" a team the way Stotts did the Blazers after losing 4 starters. Kidd tends to "coach down" his teams. With that much talent, playing in the East, no way should MIL be the 8th seed barely above .500.
