Carlisle had to step down for the coaching change to actually happen. Even Donnie stuck around for 20 years before Cuban finally pulled the plug. Then again, Cuban did fire Avery Johnson after only 3 years so maybe, just maybe, if Kidd really screws up we'll actually have hope that he will do what needs to be done. I have stopped trying to get into the mind of Mark Cuban at this point though.
Unlike many fans, Mark Cuban has a lot of patience with people, whether coaches, players, or front-office people. He values stability.
