DALLAS -- Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said Friday he's been "amazed" by the transformation of the business side of the organization since the February hiring of CEO Cynthia Marshall in the wake of the Sports Illustrated story exposing sexual harassment and misconduct within the franchise's corporate office.
Under Marshall's leadership, the Mavericks hired and promoted several women to executive positions, increasing the percentage filling those roles in the organization from zero to 47 percent.
Marshall immediately devised a 100-day plan to transform the organization's culture and has vowed to make the Mavericks a model for pro sports franchises.
