"One day, I’ll come back and hopefully coach in the Bay Area. This has always been home. And so hopefully maybe in high school, maybe in college. Or maybe if Steve Kerr ever decides to stop coaching, I can maybe help out with the Warriors one day." - Jason Kidd (h/t NBCS) ------- In a word, heroic. His health is an ongoing struggle, so while Steve Kerr's back seemed to have held up fairly admirably as he coached his way to his third championship in four seasons, you just never know when the pain could become unbearable and force him into an early retirement. That's why it must be such a relief for the Warriors to find out that Jason Kidd has so charitably offered his services as the fallback option for a position that would otherwise be so difficult to fill. With Luke Walton no longer around to loosely supervise a superstar-studded team that was without the mind of it's mentor present for the first half of the most winningest season in NBA history, I was fearful that Golden State would be left directionless with nowhere to turn for a replacement if their fearless leader were to be forced from the sidelines. The Lord works in mysterious ways, so it must have been the Messiah himself that encouraged a young, promising team like the Milwaukee Bucks to can a candidate as flawless as Jason Kidd so that Warriors wouldn't be left completely suitor-less if misfortune happened to strike their bench. Golden State was one awful and uncomfortable night of twisting and turning away from having to depend on nothing more than their unprecedented level of talent and a rock solid organizational hierarchy in continuing their winning ways. Can you imagine the horror? Thank god Jason Kidd came along as another security blanket, for the Warriors were surely cowered under theirs at the thought of having to survive the complete hypothetical loss of Steve Kerr. In all seriousness, the end of that quote reads as if Steve Kerr would literally have to be completely out of the picture forever to Jason Kidd to do so much as "help out" the Warriors, which tells you just about everything you need to know about Jason Kidd as a coach.
