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.
I wonder how many in this thread are aware that serving as HC while simultaneously playing used to be extremely common in the NBA, and some of them had great success, including championships

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.

That is unequivocally false. NBA is more of a coaches league than you believe it to be. Secondly, NBA coaches do a hell of a lot more than baseball managers do.
