On Tuesday, May 15, 2012, the Dallas Mavericks took the first step in maintaining their championship-caliber team by re-signing their head coach Rick Carlisle to a four-year extension. Since joining the team in 2008, the Mavericks have gone 198-114 in the regular season. Despite fielding a winning team every year, and even capturing the franchise’s first championship last season, Carlisle is often overlooked when discussing the top coaches in the NBA.
