He's not been particularly poor, either. In his first season with the Nets, they played pretty well after a poor start (10-21) as of 12/31, to finish 44-38 on the season. That was an old, crappy roster and he got a lot out of it. Then he got traded to Milwaukee, a young strangely assembled group of talent and they were right around .500 in 3 1/2 seasons. I don't think it's fair to say there's nothing to suggest or convince that he's qualified to coach basketball, especially in a step down in competition.Yogi Bear said:He was qualified to play basketball. I haven't seen anything to convince me that he's qualified to coach basketball other than that he's had two jobs doing it, but not particularly well.OaktownBear said:
My opinion is that Kidd is obviously qualified, with or without a degree.
It also wasn't my point. Whether he'd be successful or not, he's clearly qualified to be a basketball coach and I doubt a college degree would make him any more qualified. My point had nothing to do with Kidd as a candidate. It was about arbitrarily requiring a college degree for positions when the person's other experience more than makes up for it. 4 years coaching in the NBA makes him a lot more qualified than a degree in some major that an athlete is pushed into to get through school. Not having a degree shouldn't be a barrier to the job.GMP said:He's not been particularly poor, either.

(I'm not advocating his hiring, just noting he's shown me enough that I'd be cautiously optimistic if he was hired in the future)
