Assistant coach Mike Weinar and the Indiana Pacers have mutually agreed to part ways. Weinar had been a candidate to join the coaching staff of Mike Brown with the New York Knicks before he pulled his name out of the running earlier this month.
“Mike Weinar has been a trusted friend and loyal colleague for 17+ years. As a coach, he is a proven winner with two National Championship rings with Florida Men’s Basketball in 2006 and 2007, and an NBA Championship ring from our 2011 championship run in Dallas. Mike also played a major role in this year’s historic Finals run with the Pacers,” Rick Carlisle. “Mike’s exemplary character as a father, husband, and man has been evident to me over nearly two decades. Professional success has followed Mike everywhere he has gone, and will no doubt continue to do so in the future.”
