12:12 AM CDT on Friday, August 15, 2008

New Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle will see many familiar faces during the team's eight-game preseason schedule, which was announced Thursday.

The Mavericks play three games against teams Carlisle used to coach - two against Indiana and one at Detroit.

Carlisle, who took over for Avery Johnson in mid-May, will coach his first preseason game with the Mavericks on Oct. 7 against Washington at the American Airlines Center.

The Mavs will then play four consecutive preseason games on the road before returning to the AAC."
