Kidd, Hawks coach have sideline run-in
Posted by Inside HoopsFeb 27
ESPN reports:
Atlanta Hawks head coach Mike Woodson drew an unusual technical foul with 1:37 remaining in the fourth quarter against the Dallas Mavericks.
Down 97-95, Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd noticed Woodson standing on the court and drove into him, causing the contact and foul.
Woodson and Kidd argued after the play, and both had to be restrained from one another.
Dirk Nowitzki made the ensuing technical free throw, and the Mavericks went on to win in overtime, 111-103.

Kidd was a genius as he always is. That play saved the game for them, considering they were tied at the end. Kidd, easily one of the top 3 greatest point guards ever, had an unbelieveable triple double. What people dont realize about that triple double is that before he came into the 4th quarter at about the 9 minute mark, he had 10points, 10 assists, and 8 rebounds, and 1 steal. So the 9 minutes that he played in fourth plus 5 minutes overtime (14 minutes) he had 9 point, 7 assists, and 8 rebounds, and also 1 steal….he had almost a triple double in 14 minutes!
