Already coach of the Pacers from 2003 to 2007, a stint marked by the fight at the Palace of Auburn Hill, which blew up this talented Indiana team (Jermaine O’Neal, Ron Artest, Al Harrington, Reggie Miller, Jamaal Tinsley… ), conference finalist in 2004 but who will never go higher, Rick Carlisle has been back since 2021.
After his departure from Dallas, which he had managed since 2008, the technician signed a four-year contract in Indiana, but he has already just extended, ESPN announcement!
The details of the agreement are not known, but Rick Carlisle is committed to the Pacers for the long term.
A (almost) birthday present since the “head coach” will celebrate his 64th birthday tomorrow. In any case, he can calmly continue to work with Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner and the rest of his squad, who won their first match of the season by quietly dominating Bilal Coulibaly’s Wizards.
