Why Rick Carlisle stepped down, according to a report

As I’m sure you are well aware, some news has hit the Dallas Mavericks over the past week, and then there was some more news, and then some additional news. The Athletic piece penned by Tim Cato and Sam Amick seems to have lit a fire that does not want to burn out.

Amick, your friendly neighborhood front office exploder, phoned in to The Rich Eisen Show (linked below) on Friday to discuss his reporting, and shine a little light on Rick Carlisle’s exit from the team.

Amick goes into Carlisle occasionally being at loggerheads with Mavericks’ superstar Luka Doncic, but compliments the coach’s adaptability in working with a player who would best him in any “personal battle”.
