According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Indiana Pacers have officially signed head coach Rick Carlisle to a multi-year contract extension.
This move is a no-brainer for Indiana. Carlisle is one of the best head coaches in the game today, and he is one of the greatest offensive minds the league has ever seen. Furthermore, he has been crucial to the Pacers' recent success with two consecutive conference finals appearances and an NBA Finals run.
After shocking the basketball world numerous times in recent years, culminating in the team being one win away from defeating the best team in the league in the NBA Finals, it is no surprise that the Pacers opted to extend Carlisle's extension, ensuring that he will be with the team for the long haul.
