The assistant, who has been a key figure alongside head coach Jason Kidd since joining the Mavericks staff, played an instrumental role in the development of the team’s defensive schemes and player development, helping guide the team through multiple playoff appearances and a Western Conference Finals run.

Although the Mavericks have not yet made an official statement, team insiders report that Kidd was informed of the decision last week and gave his full support to the assistant’s next chapter. “He’s been an integral part of what we’ve built here,” said one source close to the team. “This is a huge loss, but also a tremendous opportunity for him.”

The departure marks the latest in a series of off-court changes for the Mavericks, who are also expected to explore front-office restructuring this offseason.

The team will begin the search for a replacement immediately, with internal candidates already under consideration. This development raises new questions about continuity within Kidd’s coaching staff and what adjustments may follow as the Mavericks prepare for the 2025–2026 season.
