Coaches I remember:
Dick Motta (two stints)
Quinn Buckner
Jim Cleamons
Don Nelson
Avery Johnson
Rick Carlisle
I know there are 3 other head coaches, but I had to look them up...
Here they are:
John MacLeod
Richie Adubato
Gar Heard
So we've had 9 head coaching changes but only 9 head coaches. Wonder how that relates to other organizations. Some rarely change their head coaches, but others do it regularly it seems.

1).Nelson (I think he just got burnt out)
2).Carlisle (Only based on the fact he won a Title)
3).Motta (This guy was very underrated in his 1st stint in Dallas. If only him and Aguirre could have gotten along)
4).Avery (I know he gets blamed for the debacle vs the Warriors changing up the lineup but I also think if the crooked refs hadn't stepped in doing the 2006 finals Avery would have won the Mavs 1st championship. He was a victim of Cuban not being liked by the officials back then)
5).MacLeod (He was really laid back and I felt like he got the most out of those teams back in the late 80's they just couldn't get past the Lakers for that 2 year run they had and D.Harper had that boneheaded turnover that really cost the Mavs in one of those Lakers matchups)
