Summary
Igor Kokoskov, the coach who led Slovenia to Olympic gold in 2017, reveals why he left the Dallas Mavericks in 2022 — not over Luka Doncic, but because of head coach Jason Kidd. Kokoskov admitted he didn’t respect Kidd’s coaching style, feeling sidelined as someone there to support Kidd rather than lead Luka. He criticized Kidd for holding onto personal grudges and failing to let go of his own ego, ultimately wasting Luka’s prime years. After one season, Kokoskov jumped to Steve Nash in Brooklyn, calling it a move from “the worst guy in the NBA” to “the best guy.” Now that Kidd’s been fired, Kokoskov’s candid take is stirring controversy and could haunt Kidd’s future job prospects.
