Former teammates expect coach Kidd to succeed

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) Former teammates, players and a former NBA assistant coach think the credibility a Hall of Fame career brings - and familiarity with today's players - will help Jason Kidd successfully transition into coaching.

Kidd was named the head coach of the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday, less than two weeks after he ended a 19-year career as a point guard that included an NBA championship and two tours as a leader on the U.S. Olympic team. He's also No. 2 in career assists and steals in NBA history.

"He's going to have incredible credibility with his players, which is huge," said Brendan Suhr, a longtime NBA assistant coach under Chuck Daly, Hubie Brown and Lenny Wilkens.
