Rick Carlisle said the Dallas Mavericks have decided to hire Darrell Armstrong, but not as a backup to point guard Jason Kidd.
Armstrong is ready to embark on his coaching career and would join Carlisle's staff in an assistant coach/developmental coach role.
Carlisle coached Armstrong at Indiana and has stayed in touch with him as Armstrong finished up a 14-year playing career that included two seasons with the Mavericks. He was a wonderful locker-room presence in 2006, when the Mavericks reached the NBA Finals.
Carlisle said Armstrong will make his retirement official with the league, presumably eliminating any chance he will play this season. He played 50 games last season with New Jersey.
