So they went to Hardaway for that, and Kidd likes the job he is doing.

And I'm sure that's correct - I'm sure Hardaway is doing a good job. 

But, he isn't the one with the ball during real-time game situations. Luka and Brunson are, and in a situation wherein everyone is learning new stuff as quickly as possible, I don't have to strain my Mavs-homer brain very hard to imagine that the native English speaker is better equipped to A) pick up on things faster, himself, and B) get more comfortable shouting out instructions to his teammates, based on the matchups he sees while bringing the ball up the court. 

It ISN'T a dig on Luka, either. Just means it might take longer than we expect. 

I sure HOPE the problems stem from things like this, rather than the idea that Kidd/Kokoskov have empowered everyone to go out and play YMCA basketball.
