The Dallas Mavericks are searching for a head coach and president of basketball operations. Donnie Nelson mutually parted ways with the organization after 24 years. The next day, Rick Carlisle resigned after 13 seasons as head coach in Dallas. The Mavs have two massive holes to fill this offseason.

In his statement to ESPN, Carlisle made it clear that he plans on continuing to coach. His departure from Dallas made it seven head coaching openings in the NBA. The Celtics hired Ime Udoka on Wednesday to fill one of the vacancies.
