“It’s a great opportunity to see what other coaches are doing,” McMillan said Monday from Dallas, where he was to attend the Mavericks' practice session. “These guys were champions just two years ago. I want to pick (Rick) Carlisle’s brain as far as what he felt won it for them then and what’s going on with them now.”
In recent months, McMillan has been to Boston to meet with Celtics coach Doc Rivers, to Denver to see mentor George Karl and to New Orleans to visit with former Portland assistant coach Monty Williams.
