What a mistake that is. Why would you dismiss a coach that has taken your team to The Playoffs four years in a row? No coach had had such a quick success in 4 years, his record with the team was 194 wins and 60 losses. He also led the Mavs to The Finals in '06 (They lost to Miami) with more than 60 wins in the regular season.
Last year was their best record and unfortunately they were eliminated by Golden State Warriors because their former coach Don Nelson, who mentored Avery, knew everything about the team and how to beat them.
Mark Cuban needed somebody to blame for his weak executive accomplishments when he traded youth for a veteran point guard (Jason Kidd) that didn't make them better, yes he's a play maker but he's not a scorer and they needed that to complement Nowitzki and Howard.
He should just fire himself or just revamp the whole squad, but I don't think any coach would have done a better job than Avery. It's a huge loss for them, they are not going to get a quality coach like that, Larry Brown is already taken by Charlotte and Scott Skiles was hired by Milwaukee.
Avery will probably end up in Chicago or New York.
