Jason Kidd Flops into Mike Woodson
During yesterday's Mavericks-Hawks affair, Jason Kidd pulled a "Michael Adams" by running into Atlanta Hawks head coach Mike Woodson to draw a technical foul nearing the end of the fourth quarter.
It appears from the video that Woodson comes out onto the court to bark an instruction to a Atlanta player and then appears to step back trying to avoid Jason Kidd. Then you can see Kidd lean into Woodson as he tries to call a timeout.
The free throw actually ended up affecting the outcome of the affair as the game went into overtime where the Mavericks claimed the victory.
Many people might want to beg the question whether the play was legal or not but you have to give it to the wily play of Jason Kidd to get the call.
I have a feeling that Mike Woodson will be standing inside the coaches box from now on.
