The Indiana Pacers are looking for a head coach . again.
Less than a year after firing Nate McMillan due, in part, to his 3-16 record in the first round of the playoffs, the Pacers fired his replacement, Nate Bjorkgren, when he couldn t get the franchise out of the play-in tournament. Here s a look at some possible candidates:
Kenny Atkinson
Atkinson was fired from the Brooklyn Nets during the 2019-20 season after compiling a 118-190 record. His reputation, however, exceeds his record as he took a rebuilding Nets roster and turned it into a playoff team around the culture he was able to develop. But the team fired him this season before he could coach superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, who sat out most of this season with injuries. That culture could be appealing to the Pacers after dealing with an unstable locker room this season.
Arizona Basketball Coaching Hot Board 2.0
Arizona has made the decision to part ways with head basketball coach Sean Miller and will now look to hire a new coach. The hiring comes at a unique time because of the IARP and the fact that nobody knows what the future will hold.
The Arizona administration will have to navigate the results of the IARP that are likely coming next summer, firing of Miller, and hiring of a new coach. The public eye will likely be on the hire because of how everything has gone down and Arizona will have to convince a new coach that the punishment will not take away from the ability to move forward and build a successful program.
