He was never known as Mr. Personality which is why he wore out his welcome elsewhere. Makes sense, I've never seen him smile. Miami is going to be tough to beat now that Bosh is showing a pulse. It's been a great run for Dallas, I expected an early exit for them once Carron Butler went down. Tom

According to Mitch Albom: <<< But that doesn't stop the stories. Stories that Carlisle, last year, shoved a senior Pistons executive as he tried to high-five the players. Tales about Carlisle yelling at secretaries, or snapping at the medical staff, or ripping on assorted personnel, young and old, in front of other people ... ... Carlisle, a smart and talented coach, apparently felt that being smart and talented would be enough. Players disagreed. Some never cared for him, since he could stand in an elevator with them and not even strike up a conversation. "That was always a difficult thing," admitted guard Chucky Atkins, "he didn't speak to a lot of people. When you treat people bad, it comes back to haunt you. If you can't talk to your coach, who can you talk to?" >>> motownsports.com I don't like Albom's potshots at the owner for trying to run a respectful organization, but I do believe most of the anecdotes about Carlisle. Hopefully Carlisle has mellowed out, because he does know how to coach the game. Tom
