— -- Jason Kidd had a reputation as one of the savviest on-court players in his playing days. It's one of the reasons the Brooklyn Nets were willing to make him a head coach immediately following his retirement. And while not much has gone right for Kidd so far in his debut coaching season, he appeared to demonstrate some of that trademark savvy late in the Nets' game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

Tyshawn said of the cup incident: \"coach was in my way...'Coach, get outta my way, bro.'\"

However, the rest of the basketball world wasn't so convinced.

If I ever become a coach, I'm using that drink spill trick...

The best part about that Kidd cola incident http://t.co/WrFi5duURF he's not even the one drawing up the play. He's just a drink spiller.

Where did Kidd get the cup of iced tea? Waitress? From a courtside fan? What if they'd only had a beer?
