Rick Carlisle talks all things Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks brought in Rick Carlisle in 2008. Dirk Nowitzki was in his prime but had yet to win a title. The Mavs believed Carlisle was the man to lead that charge.

He did just that. Helping them win a crown in 2011. Carlisle’s teams made the playoffs in seven of his first eight seasons. He has proven to be one of the NBA’s best coaches throughout his tenure in Dallas. Carlisle is also the President of the National Basketball Coaches Association.
