Carlisle getting pissy that Mathurin or Walker are not sprinting is quite low on the problem list. It’s an 82 game season. Expecting players to sprint all game is silly. Carlisle’s coaching and Haliburton’s historically crappy play are the reasons why the Pacers are struggling. The team seems to be tuning Carlisle out.
No. Coach sets the expectations. Players live up to it, or face the consequences. Make or break time I think. If Ben and Jarace won't do what he says, time to move on. No grey areas. I like them both, difference makers IF they work hard. If they don't want to, let them rot on the bench or trade them and move on with guys that know how to work hard ALL THE TIME.
Haha! No. This is the National Business Association, not high school. Players rule this league, not coaches. The coach is the first dude fired when players don’t develop, play well together, or reach their potential. Just ask Rick Carlisle. He’s been fired three times.

Bullshit. Kinda clueless on how a team works?
Coaches get fired when when the Team doesn't win.
But the Coach most certainly decides who sits their butt on the bench until they play like the coach wants.
Defending a player for wanting them to get back like every team in the league? Now THAT is ridiculous.
