Carlisle s contract renewal of Pacers for many years: leads the team to the finals after 25 years and loses to the Thunder

On August 19, according to Substack famous reporter Marc Stein, Pacers coach Carlisle agreed to renew a multi-year contract with the team. Carlisle led the Pacers to return to the finals after 25 years this year, and finally lost to the Thunder with a tiebreak.

Carlisle, one of the famous NBA coaches, once coached the Mavericks (now the Mavericks) in 2011 and returned to the Pacers to coach. Carlisle has had two coaching experiences with the Pacers. Now he has coached the Pacers for four seasons for the second time. He led the Pacers to return to the finals after 25 years, and fought with the Thunder for seven games to lose 3-4.

Carlisle won the NBA championship as a Celtic player in 1986. In 2002, Carlisle won the best coach of the season as the Pistons head coach. In 2011, Carlisle led the team to win the first championship in team history as the head coach of the Mavericks.

Carlisle returns to the Pacers in 2021, and his coaching ability is obvious to all. He is also the chairman of the NBA Coaching Association. He has won 81 playoff games in his coaching career, tied for KC-Jones to tie for tenth in history.

Now, according to famous reporter Marc Stein, Carlisle has agreed to renew a multi-year contract with the Pacers and will continue his Pacers coaching career.

However, with Halliburton's serious injury in the new season, and the finals center Turner shot the Bucks in the mid-range shot, the Pacers' strength in the new season has dropped sharply. It is still unknown whether they can make it to the playoffs, which is a big test for Carlisle's coach.
