I disagree. His biggest hurdle will be getting 100% out of Deron Williams without him quitting on the coach.I think his biggest hurdle may be respect.

I think players will respect JKidd because of how he was able to be a presence in the game for a very long time without being a good scorer.
Terrible idea. Great players don't typically make great coaches. What you want is the scrub who was a backup and undersized his entire life. You don't want the natural talent who can only say "Why can't you just see the court...I did". You want someone who had to bust it and work hard just to play 3rd string. THAT dude knows how to work hard and exploit weaknesses.
True in almost all sports, with the rare exceptions like a Tom Landry.
Rarely do the good players become good coaches.
Kidd was born to do nothing but play and coach basketball. Trust me. He wouldn't be able to do anything else. My bet is that he massively succeeds at this.It's being said that Kidd blew the Nets away in the interview. Apparently he broke down the game of every Nets player, what they do well, what they don't do well and how he would use them based on their strengths.
He also broke down their playoff loss to the Bulls and what he would have done differently.
The Nets were reportedly impressed with the assistant coaches her intends to bring as well.
Whether any of this translates into production on the court, remains to be seen, but it sounds like he nailed the interview!!
And if Deron Williams isn't bright enough to listen to a sure 1st ballot Hall of Famer who has NBA experience as recent as this past season, then he needs to be sent to the CBA!!
