DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Fresh off of the Mavericks' Game 7 loss to the Clippers on Sunday afternoon, some criticism came head coach Rick Carlisle's way.
Carlisle has yet to win a playoff series since the Mavs won the NBA Finals over the Miami Heat in 2011.
Carlisle was asked after the game if he still believed he is the right man to lead the organization with Luka Doncic having yet to enter his prime at an age of 22.
"That's a question you'll have to ask Mark (Cuban). I obviously do, but I'd text him and see what he has to say about it," Carlisle answered.
A short time later, Cuban weighed in with a strong statement in support of Carlisle.
"Let me tell you how I look at coaching. You don't make a change to make a change. Unless you have someone that you know is much, much, much better, the grass is rarely greener on the other side," Cuban said to Tim MacMahon of ESPN.
"He isn't going anywhere," Cuban also said of his head coach's status to Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News.
Carlisle's current contract runs through the 2022-23 season, per Townsend.
