Couple of things here.
It is not unusual for leaders to isolate from those they are leading. So nobody should expect Carlisle (or Kidd) to be buddies with the players. Unfortunately, it sometimes allows for treatment that is not very sensitive to the player's needs or feelings.
Listening to an NBA show yesterday and they were talking about how some coaches feel like there is an expiration date on their effectiveness with a particular team. After a long enough tenure, then they lose the attention of the locker room and their ability to motivate. Said that was one reason Larry Brown kept moving. Thought Tom Thibodeaux was that way.
Wonder if Carlisle reached his "sell by" date.
