Pacers bounce Carlisle off the court

Indiana's got hoop nightmares. They missed the playoffs and had their worst season since Members Only jackets and big hair were in fashion. Two players just got arthroscopic surgery.

Larry Bird just shot their coach into the fired bin too. Rick Carlisle won't be around to coddle Jermaine O'Neal next year. That's not the problem the Pacers have now...
But tell me: Where was Bird? Where was team CEO Donnie Walsh?

The next Pacers coach needs more than a loud voice and a cattle prod; he needs the total support of ownership and management. This isn't simply about making the Pacers a contender again. It's about restoring the franchise's credibility.
Yeah, NBA millionaires respond to the drill sergeant types. There's something about a guaranteed contract that makes people a little less responsive to negative reinforcement. I think that's why they call it "F-U money."
