Donnie Nelson: Rick Carlisle isn't going anywhere; new deal on horizon http://tinyurl.com/72dcyle By Gerry Fraley / Reporter The Mavericks expect Rick Carlisle to return as coach next season, president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said Sunday. Carlisle can become a free agent in June, when his contract expires. Nelson declined to discuss details, but he said the sides have a common ground that should lead to a new deal. "He likes us; we like him," Nelson said. "Those situations generally get worked out. Rick's not going anywhere." Carlisle declined to discuss his status but acknowledged affection for the Mavericks. "This has been a great opportunity for me and my family," Carlisle said. "We love it here." In four seasons with Carlisle, the Mavericks are 198-114 in the regular season and 23-18 in the playoffs. This was his worst season in terms of record (36-30) and being swept by Oklahoma City in the opening round of the playoffs. "He [Carlisle] did everything he could with what he had to work with," guard Jason Kidd said. "We didn't make it easy on him with the injuries and stuff, but he was always prepared and always had the team ready to go." 小尼爾森公開表示希望Carlisle回來執教小牛 而Carlisle雖然沒有對於合約的事情多談 但是也表示了對達拉斯的情感 他說他和他的家人都喜歡這個地方 雖說三小讓很多人幹翻 但是去年沒有他的調度小牛也不會有總冠軍 目前檯面上似乎也沒有其他合適的人選 感覺留下Carlisle應該是不錯的選擇 --
