The Dallas Mavericks lost head coach Rick Carlisle when he resigned after 13 seasons on June 16. They have two massive holes to fill this offseason because the team also mutually parted ways with president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson.
It did not take long for Carlisle to find his next head coaching destination. ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reported he agreed to coach the Indiana Pacers on Thursday morning. Carlisle is set to make $29 million over the next four years.
