This is one of the changes Kidd has made from what Carlisle used to do that I like, despite not expecting to like. Carlisle used to follow the trend that was popular at the time with most NBA head coaches, forgoing the offensive glass almost completely to focus on transition defense. When it became clear that the offensive glass was a priority for the new mavericks, I worried that transition defense would be a problem, but honestly, I enjoy their ability to rebound on that end more than I expected, and for the most part, they are pretty good about making sure the bigs sprint back.
