(Sports Network) - Dallas named Paul Westphal executive vice president of basketball operations on Thursday.
The 12-year NBA veteran brings a 25-year coaching career to his new role with the Mavericks. Westphal led Phoenix to the 1993 NBA Finals and was the second- fastest coach in NBA history to reach 150 wins.
"I can't tell you how excited we are to add Westy to our management team," said president of basketball operations/general manager Donnie Nelson. "The Mavericks have gained a valuable asset. As a player and coach, Paul has pretty much seen and done it all."
That includes playing stints in Boston, Phoenix, New York and Seattle. He played for the 1974 NBA-champion Celtics.
