Jason Kidd denies premeditated spill
 
Jason Kidd of Brooklyn Nets denies intentionally dropping cup on sidelines - ESPN New York

Quote:

NEW YORK -- Jason Kidd intended to make a splash as coach of the Brooklyn Nets, but probably didn't expect anything like what happened Wednesday night.

With 8.3 seconds left in Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers and his team out of timeouts, Kidd, who was holding a cup of soda, appeared to say "hit me" to point guard Tyshawn Taylor in order to stop the game so the team could draw up a last-second offensive play.

How would you handle the various aspects of the play if you saw what Kidd mouthed and the subsequent bump? What about Steve Blake entering in the huddle...and anything else on the play.

Unsportsman T on the coach. Nothing on opposing player standing on the court where they have a right to be.

If the assistant coach still comes on the court like its a TO to draw up a play and treat it like a TO, I might be inclined to assess a T there as well. Hopefully I warned them after the first T to stay off the court. Trying to be cute to circumvent the rules is unsportsmanlike in my book.

This is how young coaches learn their lessons.

He got a $50K fine.

I'm not T'ing the coach unless I actually HEAR him say "Hit me". I can't justify a T for my interpretation of his actions in this case.
