ARTICLE: "Luka Doncic and Rick Carlisle: The dissolution of their relationship"

[omahen]

I am a big RC fan but it is hard to ignore the importance of people skills. Every report confirmed or even strengthened my opinion that he is one of the greatest basketball minds that ever coached in the NBA. But they also highlight that he lost the connection to the locker room. Something that probably wasn´t his strong suit to begin with. Amplified by the loss of veteran leaders like Dirk and JJB.

I think it has more to do with the fact, that 13 years is a long time and people get tired of eachother. I think the situation was far from black and white as some could understand it from the piece. If he was such a complete ass, he would not have success in Indiana, Detroit and Dallas and he would not last 13 years in Dallas. 

But it is also true that times change and perhaps stuff that worked with the "old guys" just doesn't work with the "new generation".
