Rick Carlisle's job in Dallas is safe despite playoff struggles: 'He isn’t going anywhere'

Rick Carlisle’s postseason record is not good.

Yes, he has led the Mavericks to an NBA championship back in 2011. Since then, however, Dallas has been unable to win a playoff series at all. And on Sunday, the Mavericks fell to the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs for the second straight year.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, though, has no problem with Carlisle whatsoever.

Carlisle, 61, was hired in Dallas before the 2008-09 season after short stints leading both the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers.
