You know it's sad when Kidd would be their 2nd best player out there right now if he still played.

I was thinking about it the other day.. Few that I can remember really good players make good coaches. I thing they find out how hard it is and don't need the dough. The players who never had a great career seem to do better.

Don't look now, but we're 5th in the West and ahead of the Clips and Rockets

Agreed. But I think that is because great players tend to not be able to "explain" how to do it. They are just with ability.

(Very similar to the way Matt Damon tries to explain his gift to Minnie Driver in Good Will Hunting.)

But Jason Kidd has been a "player coach" for awhile on the court. So I think he a better chance than most great players to succeed.

"Kidd no doubt understands that he has no grounds to complain. No one forced him to push for the job so hard just days after coming to the realization that his playing days were done ... and without the benefit of some semblance of a coaching apprenticeship. Too late now to lament how much there is to learn and how challenging it is trying to home-school on the fly with a win-now team that will cost its impatient Russian owner nearly $190 million this season alone when you factor in all of the luxury tax.
