Just the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong locker room. Could've happened to Doc Rivers or Kidd or anyone, but with a rookie coach the negatives were exacerbated. That's what I think, at least.
Yep, not getting experience as an assistant coach is tough to overcome. I think Kidd had a bumpy ride early on because of that too.
