Carlisle To Receive Extension

KG-MVP21 · 09-20-2006, 09:39 AM

Indianapolis Star - Team president Larry Bird said the Pacers will give head coach Rick Carlisle a contract extension and it likely will happen before training camp opens Oct 3, according to Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star.

"We're going to get it taken care of," Bird said. "You like to get that kind of stuff taken care of so you can move on."

Carlisle, who was entering the final season of a four-year deal, declined comment when reached by phone Tuesday. There was some question about whether Carlisle would receive an extension after the Pacers finished 41-41 and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season.

Team chemistry and injuries also were an issue last season. The Pacers addressed their chemistry problem by adding 11 new players through the draft, trades and free agency this summer.
