The NBA will fine Nets head coach Jason Kidd $50,000 for his staged soda spill to earn an extra timeout, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. Come on. It's clever gamesmanship!
Then again, if Kidd hadn't been fined, all coaches would start dropping cups when they ran out of timeouts. Still, Kidd's smartest decision as the Nets' coach hits his wallet. Dumb.
