Rick Carlisle returning to Indiana Pacers for second stint as coach

Rick Carlisle is returning to Indiana after agreeing to a four-year deal to become the head coach of the Pacers again, he told ESPN.

The deal is worth $29 million plus incentives, sources said.

"It's a team of skilled, unselfish guys that play hard. It's always possible that moves could be made before the season, but I think [GM Kevin Pritchard] and I are both very excited about getting the roster healthy and seeing what this team can be," Carlisle said.
