He's a disciplinarian that consistently gets the most out of the players he is dealt.

He opened things up alot more with the Pacers than he did the Pistons, due to the fact that he felt they were better built for an uptempo game.

Plus his defensive and offensive principles are structured and extremely easy to grasp, which seems to suit a team that lost its direction at times like the Mavs fairly well.
