With 1:36 left in regulation in the Mavs’ 111-103 overtime win over the Hawks, Kidd made a move he said he’d never tried at any level. It was the veteran move to end all veteran moves — a player drawing contact from an opposing coach.
Here’s the deal. Coaches aren’t allowed to be on the floor at all, but it’s become fashionable for coaches to act as an extra defender, charging on to the floor, shouting plays, and being a general distraction for the other team.
So, to keep the refs honest, Kidd did what he had to do to squeeze every last point out of the game he could. The Mavs needed it, and ended up winning the game in overtime, due in no small part to Kidd’s genius playmaking ability.

I don’t follow sports (much) anymore so I definitely wouldn’t have seen this if you hadn’t posted it so thanks.
I agree – very cool play by Kidd.

Yeah, I know the mavs posts kind of grate for my non-dallas peeps, but this seemed like something that had a little more mass appeal, being such a rare spectacle.
