I thought this was interesting...In that one of the biggest reasons for success this year was RC getting both the dirkster and jet to buy into playing solid team defense..
Carlisle confiscating the robe....It says a lot about Carlisle and a lot about Jet...Accepting what the coach says for the good of the team.

Quote:
DALLAS -- Jason Terry strolled down the stairs like a heavyweight boxing champion, proudly sporting a robe.
As always seems to be the case with Terry, there’s a story behind it.
“I used to have a robe,” Terry said. “I used to come to meetings, get on the plane, on the road I'd come to our breakfast meetings with the robe on. Ask anybody -- the robe was infamous for a while.”
Then coach Rick Carlisle confiscated it.
Terry said Carlisle banned the robe because he didn’t think Jet was focused. Terry was thrilled that a new robe appeared in his locker this morning, complete with Finals logos on the lapels.
“The robe is back, baby!" Terry said.
