Great work by Zach Lowe for interviewing Indiana Pacers Head Coach Rick Carlisle and discussing his journey from a championship player with the Celtics to winning the 2011 title with the Dallas Mavericks to coaching the Pacers to this year’s NBA Finals. Hear Coach Carlisle reflect on nearing 1,000 coaching wins and the inspiration and profound impact that Chuck Daly, Bill Fitch, and Larry Bird continue to have on his career.
As the Pacers begin pre-season workouts for the 2025-2026 NBA Season, listen to Coach Carlisle share the moment he bestowed complete trust in Tyrese Haliburton to run the offense and to Coach’s philosophy on adapting the roster and creating unique styles of play to transform with the different eras of NBA basketball.
Keep up the great work Coach!
