I wonder how many people in this thread are aware of how little a role NBA head coaches play relative to other leagues. Over-coaching is more often a problem than under-coaching.



You can downplay the importance of an NBA coach but you certainly can't dismiss it.

The Lakers weren't going to win a title with Del Harris coaching Shaq and Kobe. The Bulls needed to push out Collins for Jackson to get over the hump. I doubt the Spurs win 4/5 titles in 14 years with a coach other than Pop. Hell, it took Riley to step in for SVG, a good coach, for the Heat to get past the Pistons.

Kidd will make an above average team worse in all likelihood because of his inexperience. We'll see what kind of assistants he hires, though.

If he couldn't tell his wife what to do how is he going to tell a team what to do?
