I would phrase it like this. "Wood was a bad fit for a bad scheme". Wood isn´t the saviour that some proclaimed him to be. And as you stated. Kidd is a poor coach.
The knock on Wood before the season started was that many teams had tried to unlock his talent and all have failed. Are all those coaches poor or do we have to say at some point that this guy is the problem?
Same issue with KP. Was RC a bad coach? The fit just wasn’t there with Luka and it was obvious that he is a one dimensional offensive player. If Kidd was the coach with KP here, people would have blamed him for that as well.
I wrote about Wood when they acquired him that this guy has got plenty of chances before and never worked out. I also said that I would do the trade because a low 20s pick for a 20/10 guy is worth taking a chance on to see if his defense can be improved.
Kidd can be blamed for a lot of things here. Wrt Wood..no.
