What led Rick to return to Pacers stepping down as the Dallas Mavericks head coach

Rick returned to Pacers for the second time as a head coach. He previously coached Pacers from 2003 to 2007.

His decision to leave the team came just after the day the team fired the general manager Donnie Nelson, his close friend.
