Looks like its all settled.

Nothing is written in blood just yet, but it looks like Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban
might have found his new cheer leader for the "Jason Kidd Can Still Play Team" and by this,
I mean a new coach for the Dallas Mavericks.

According to MSN Fox Sports, Cuban has reached an agreement deal with Rick Carlisle
the former coach of the Pacers and Pistons.

The 49-year-old Carlisle ran the Pistons from 2001-03, going 100-64 in the regular season and 12-15 in the playoffs. He also was named the 2001-02 NBA Coach of the Year.

After Carlisle was fired by Detroit and replaced by Larry Brown following the 2002-03 season, he was hired by Walsh to coach the Pacers. In four seasons with Indiana, Carlisle was 181-147 in the regular season and 18-17 in the playoffs.

Carlisle was fired by Indiana after the team went 35-47 in 2006-07, missing the playoffs for the first time since the 1996-97 season.

oh boy, I hope this works out.. maybe the plan here is to get a pushover coach that will allow Jason Kidd to continuously control each play even after several turnovers? but what about on the defensive end? just wondering.. I guess we'll be waiting some more.

btw.. I know this isn't going to be considered nice, I just wanted to add how great it was to see the Rockets get knocked out in the first round again, and I pray that the Hawks can pull out this game 7, how great would that be?!
