Jason Kidd is out as coach of the Mavericks, 2 weeks after the hiring of team president Masai Ujiri
- On Tuesday, the Dallas Mavericks announced they are parting ways with head coach Jason Kidd, ending his five-year tenure with the franchise by mutual decision.
- Kidd oversaw a 205-205 record during his five seasons, but his role in the 2025 trade of Luka Doncic sparked internal questions and criticism throughout his tenure.
- Despite leading the team to the 2022 Western Conference Finals and the 2024 NBA Finals, Kidd missed the postseason in three other seasons, finishing his playoff tenure with a 22-18 record.
- Team president Masai Ujiri, who joined the organization two weeks ago, stated the team must "build a basketball organization capable of sustained championship contention" under new direction.
- The Mavericks' opening is the sixth coaching vacancy this offseason, and Ujiri plans to conduct a thorough search to replace Kidd as the team pursues championship contention.
