When it comes to the coaching or GM stuff I am always suprised that people forget that RC and Donnie aren´t doing it by themself.
Just looking at the coaching staff.
10/11 (championship): Brad Davis, Casey Smith (now head of health and performance, whatever that means), Darrell Armstrong (still with the team), Dwane Casey (first Raptors , now Pistons head coach), Terry Stotts (Blazers headcoach), Monte Mathis
13/14: Mavs add Caleb Canales
14/15: Mavs add Jamahl Mosley
15/16: Defensive coordinator Monte Mathis leaves, Replaced by Melvin Hunt
18/19: Hunt and Canales replaced by Stephen Silas and Mike Weinar, Mosley takes over the defense
19/20: Mavs add Boucek
20/21: Silas leaves (head coach in Houston), Mavs add Guthrie
Mavs lost a lot of talent. I would argue that they had the best coaching staff in the league when RC arrived in 08/09. Post championship it has been a steady decline of coaching talent next to him. In a way RCs and the Mavs success hurt the team. Three of his former assistants are head coaches. Others will probably get a head coaching opportunity in the next few years (Canales, Mosley). Only head coach with a comparable coaching tree (even bigger) is Pop.
