記事中のdiagramは「図形で表す；〈物の〉図面を作成する」という意味の単語（『プログレッシブ英和中辞典』小学館）。ここでのdiagram a playは「（作戦盤）の上でプレイを指示する」ことを指しています。ペンで選手の動きを書いたりすることもあるので「図式化する」という意味でdiagram a playと表しているのでしょう。（Koyamamomto）

Kidd fined $50K for spilling drink to delay game
NEW YORK (AP) -- Jason Kidd dropped more than a soda in an attempt to delay a game. He ended up dropping $50,000 for the stunt.
The NBA fined the Brooklyn Nets coach on Thursday, saying he intentionally spilled his drink on the court as an unusual stall tactic.
Kidd bumped into Brooklyn reserve Tyshawn Taylor with 8.3 seconds left in the Nets' 99-94 loss to the Lakers on Wednesday, causing his drink to spill. A video of the fumble showed Kidd appearing to tell Taylor to "hit me" as the guard walked toward the bench, and the resulting delay while the floor was being cleaned allowed the Nets, who were out of timeouts, to diagram a play.
