I guess he just believes in the team. Maybe it's good for them to have to learn to hit those clutch FT's before it costs them playoff games? I don't think I would have had done it if I was in his situation but I don't think its all that outrageous the more I think about it. Maybe I just think Kidd is a decent coach. Think back to the dumpster fire coaches we've had over the years, whether it was Terry Stotts, Larry Krystkowiak, LARRY DREW....Kidd is the best IMO. Stotts has proven he's a damn good coach for years out in Portland. The fact is, in the NBA you actually need talent to win games, and the two years Stotts was here, he had virtually none. I mean, his second year they started Charlie Bell and Reuben Patterson the entire season. There is 0 excuse for fouling up for with 12 seconds left. You make them score and stop the ball when they try to bring it up court. They are playing the clock in that situation.
