Head Coach of the Dallas Mavericks, Rick Carlisle tells Rondo to “learn how to make a shot” after Rondo beat him in Connect 4
Apparently Rick Carlisle takes his Connect 4 very seriously. After a brutal loss to Mavericks star point guard, Rajon Rondo, in Connect 4, Carlisle told Rondo to learn how to make a shot. Someone seems a little bitter after the loss.
Rajon Rondo whipped Rick Carlisle in Connect 4. Rick: "He got all excited afterward. I told him to learn how to make a shot."

A pretty brutal comment to your point guard. Especially after Rondo is scheduled to have facial reconstructive surgery and will miss multiple games. The injury happened after teammate Richard Jefferson kneed Rondo in the face.

However, the facial injury did not seem to effect his Connect 4 playing ability at all. So he received no sympathy from his head coach.
Not to mention that since joining the Mavericks, Rondo has been shooting the best 3 point percentage of his career at 39%. Also, since acquiring Rondo, the Mavs have jumped to the third spot in the Western conference, just ahead of the San Anotonio Spurs.
Hopefully there are no hard feelings between Coach Carlisle and Rajon Rondo. After all, it was just a game of Connect 4.
