Carlisle´s Pistons and Pacers teams were defensive minded. Same for the late 00s Mavs. Even the first post championship team ranked top 10 in D-Rating. The ultimate goal of the game is to score more points than the other team but over the years RC tried to accomplish it in all kinds of ways.
One of the reasons why I am so high on him. No matter the roster he always adapted and tried to maximize what he had. Gritty and physical defense with balanced scoring from all positions. Smart veteran defense with a dominant post player to lead the offense. Pick and roll heavy offense with multiple ballhandlers. Helio centric offense with a heavy focus on spacing. RC isn´t D´Antoni. There is no fixed scheme.
