Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.

In case you haven't noticed, the Dallas Mavericks' new head coach is Prick Carlisle.

His weekly radio shows with The Ticket's Norm Hitzges have gotten progressively less insightful and decreasingly courteous. And last night he turned down right surly with ESPN Radio's Chuck Cooperstein.

For no reason.

On the Mavs' pre-game show Coop asked Prick Carlisle an innocuous, astute question about there being warts in the team's two-point victory over injury-depleted Detroit earlier this week. In an interview with the voice of his team and on the radio station of his team, Prick Carlisle repsonded with a derisive, mocking and condescending laugh, followed by ...

"Look, we won the game ... let's move on."

And then ...

Prick Carlise got ejected from Thursday's loss in Atlanta.

I guess losing three of four this time of year will sour your mood. Or perhaps reveal your character?

Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way.

Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
