I am not impressed with Kidd as a coach or talent evaluator. He jacks his lineups around more than any coach in the league not named Pop.

Very true, for young guys, that's hard, roles are not defined, just a lot of instability on the court. Pop has earned that cred, Kidd has not. Players playing for Pop, know their roles and go out there and play it, they do their job. For Kidd, when lineups are changed, it's more of a WTF. I think Kidd is trying to hard to throw off opposing scouting reports. A lot of what he does is trying to do the unpredictable, there is not go to guy, there is no one set inbound play, etc. He wants the element of surprise in his back pocket.
It was funny early in the season, one of the fantasy sites were constantly pissed at Kidd for the way he would not announce lineup changes.
