Pacers Coach Leaves Team in Surprise Move, Deal with Rival Incoming?

Former Pacers coach could be on the move to the Knicks

Part of the reason that this move was so surprising is the fact that Weinar has pulled himself out of consideration to be Mike Brown's top assistant with the New York Knicks.

Once that move was made, it looked like Weinar was planning on being with the Pacers for a while. Now, that move looks like it's back on the table. He might be on the move to New York.

Indiana has a lot of other experienced assistant coaches who can help Carlisle coach his team. Next year is when Carlisle's coaching expertise is really going to need to show.

Without Tyrese Haliburton available next season, the Pacers are going to need to create advantageous situations for the guys they do have if they want to have any hope of making another deep playoff run.

The Pacers will miss Mike Weinar

Weinar is certainly a loss for the Pacers. He was one of Carlisle's top assistants and really helped with the offense of the team. He is one of the coaches who helped imput the pace that the team plays with.

Whichever team ends up landing Weinar will be getting a very good coach. If he does end up in New York, it would be a position that he would have earned, and he would be making that move because it gets him closer to being a head coach.

The Pacers will move into next year with a lot of familiar faces who will try to make the best of the situation at hand.
