The Bucks contemplated firing Jason Kidd after last season because of how disconnected he was with most of the team because of his "old-school approach" to coaching, sources told Jared Zwerling of Sports Illustrated.
According to Zwerling's sources, Kidd would "play mind games" with some of the players during film sessions and timeouts, talking trash and not comforting players. Zwerling's sources add that along with the lack of communication between Kidd and the players, management also felt that Kidd wanted too much personnel control.
The Bucks fired Kidd Monday, after three-plus seasons in Milwaukee.
