If an established coach like RC couldn’t the next best option, short of having a running mate like CP3, would be to get a coach who even Luka has to concede has proven himself on the court as an all time great at the same position Luka essentially plays.
Not saying I agree if that was Mark’s rationale, but that is the only one that makes sense. Kidd has not been a great coach at any of his previous stops and ironically has the same rep as RC of not being a player’s coach. So it was a weird hire to say the least.
OTOH, I can’t completely put your rationale aside either. Unfortunately Cuban is Cuban and a bit too infatuated with the whole celeb culture despite being a billionaire.
I'm starting to think the most obvious solution was elevating Jamahl Mosley. Sure he was Luka's coach before but not his head coach. They seemed to have a really friendly relationship. And that might be just the type of person that can be critical of Luka's shortcomings and have Luka be receptive to that criticism.
