Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle is one of the best coaches in the game today, and he will face his ultimate test to further prove that next season.
With Carlisle leading the way, the Pacers have enjoyed a lot of success over the past couple of seasons. They are fresh off their first NBA Finals appearance in over two decades, and they made it to the conference finals in each of the last two seasons. While the players certainly deserve a ton of that credit, Carlisle's ability to implement the perfect system and get the best out of his players also played a key role in the team's success.
