The Dallas Mavericks have hired Rick Carlisle as their new head coach.
According to the Associated Press, "The papers aren’t signed yet, but team owner Mark Cuban confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Friday night that a verbal deal is in place... The contract 'will be signed tomorrow (Saturday),' with a news conference Wednesday because Cuban will be out of town until then." So, good hire? Is Carlisle the guy to finally get the Mavs their NBA Championship?
