Has Carlisle run out of ideas/does he need a mental/physical break?

[cow]

I have never worried about RC and his game knowledge or his overall adaptability as a coach as the game evolves. 

I have always worried most about....

1) ...how he handles players psychologically. 

2) ...his seeming stubbornness and desire to be in control. 


I think one or both of those will be his eventual undoing as a coach.

3)  How he develops players.

4)  How he handles integrating acquired players.

Those seem like really big crap shots in the Carlisle era.  And while Carlisle has a lot of warts, I'd rather look our General Manager.  Donnie hits some home runs but he also strikes out a lot.  Our roster construction this year is pitiful.
