Dead on. One of the things I really noticed at Nets games the past couple 
of years was how Byron was pretty much never part of the huddle at time 
outs etc during the game. Always just his assistants working with the 
players, while Byron stalked around showing off his suit and chatting to 
the refs or people at the scorers' table. Which seems a step overboard on 
the delegation thing for a serious coach...

And I agree on Kidd, although in fairness, this is another 'reported by 
team sources' which isn't exactly from the horse's mouth guarantee of 
accuracy about what he really said
