Dallas Mavericks president Masai Ujiri said Wednesday that the decision to fire head coach Jason Kidd was his and his alone, describing it as a “very tough decision.”
Ujiri’s comments put the responsibility for the coaching change squarely on his shoulders as the Mavericks move forward following Kidd’s dismissal.
Kidd’s departure marks a significant change for Dallas, with the organization now shifting attention to its next steps on the bench. Ujiri did not shift blame or suggest the decision came from elsewhere, instead emphasizing that he owned the call.
