Can somebody explain Kidd's decision to purposefully miss the last free throw? You are up by three. If you make it, you just walk off the court. If you miss, well you're no better off than missing on purpose. Help me understand this strategy.
because he's a dumbass. There's literally no worse coach in the league than him right now. His offensive system is "effort" and his defensive sheme was so outright laughable it caused a public outrage and actually forced them to change it midseason. He sucks at everything and is an idiot. He has to go.
Um, just tell your players not to foul? If Middleton missed the basket altogether, which happens sometimes in these situations, it’s a violation and he’s giving them a chance to tie the game! Kidd was a super smart basketball player, but he was trying to be too clever here. As a coach, often times you don’t want to overthink things.
