Friday is the earliest that the Dallas Mavericks will complete the expected hiring of Rick Carlisle as their new coach, according to NBA coaching sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that Carlisle is scheduled to make his second trip to Dallas at week's end after two days' worth of interviews with the Mavericks last week that established him as the clear favorite to replace the fired Avery Johnson.

Not sure this is the best fit as Carlisle is an offensive control freak as well, or at least was with the Pacers. Talk around these parts is that he'll change his tune with JKidd as his PG as compared with Tinsley. I'm skeptical.

Carlisle's strange the ball game vs. Kidd's open court (and coach killing)?

Wonder what they think Carlisle is going to bring? Its the roster that needs, well guys under 40 for one thing.
