... in New York, and he won both ways. Most coaches basically stick with what they know. Inside the Dallas Mavericks:Can Carlisle adjust and stay with it? Hard to say. But he notes that Indiana played several styles in what he referred to as "the brawl year." Can he turn the offense over to his point guard? "If I've got a point guard who can run a team," he said.
