Dallas Mavericks: 5 unsolicited suggestions for coach Rick Carlisle
The Dallas Mavericks are lucky to have Rick Carlisle as their head coach. Contrary to what internet comment threads might suggest, his job is extremely hard and important in the NBA. A head coach has to draw up plays, come up with rotations, game-plan, manage the clock, cater to superstar egos, and so much more. Even with all that responsibility, being a head coach is often a thankless job.
When the sailing is smooth, the players are the ones lauded and plastered on the front page.
