If there is one thing we’ve learned from the time Jason Kidd has spent as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers, it’s that while he’s learned not to attempt coups anymore — so Frank Vogel can breathe a sigh of relief — Kidd would still really like another head coaching job, even if he has to go elsewhere to get it.
Over the last year, Kidd has been the runner-up for the New York Knicks head coaching job that ultimately went to Tom Thibodeau, received interest from the New Orleans Pelicans and the Brooklyn Nets, and has even been linked to the open college head coaching job at UNLV.
