The Pacers separate each other with the deputy coach Mike Weinar, 2 months after the race of the NBA finals

Two months after being short of the NBA finals, the Indian Pacers are changing a change of coaching. The team announced on Friday that he had mutually accepted to separate from the assistant coach Mike Weinar.

In a statement, the coach head Rick Carlisle praised the character of Weinar and his success. Carlisle and Weinar have worked together since 2008, starting from a period of 13 years with the Dallas Maverks before being hired by the Pacers in 2021.

“Mike Weinar was a trusted friend and a faithful colleague for over 17 years. As a coach, he is a proven winner with two national championship rings with Florida’s male basketball in 2006 and 2007, and a ring of the NBA championship of our 2011 championship race in Dallas. Mike also played an important role in the history of this year’s latest stories” “The exemplary character of Mike, husband and man was evident for almost two decades.

At the beginning of this month, several relationships indicated that Weinar was in negotiations for a higher assistant with the New York Knicks with the new coach Mike Brown. However, according to what reported, Weinar took into consideration, citing both the desire to keep his family in Indiana and to maintain his long -term partnership with Carlisle.

Announcement

It is not clear what Weinar will do now after separating the Indiana.

The move arrives a few days after Carlisle signed a multi -year extension with the Pacers, cementing his future with the team after conducting the Indian on an electrifying final and a little unlikely last season.

Weinar, however, will not remain with Carlisle in this next chapter. With Weinar outside, Lloyd Pierce remains the assistant coach of the Pacers, with Jim Boylen and Jenny Boucek as assistant coaches.
