I saw on Yahoo.com today that Isiah was fired by Indiana Pacers management. Jermaine O Neal heard the news from Isiah & Jermaine is really pissed off cause he said before he resigned with Indiana, he was promised that Isiah was gonna be the coach next season. Larry Bird said Rick Carlisle is most likely to be the replacement. I'm upset about the news too cause i think Isiah did a good job coaching Indiana & the players really liked him. Jermaine said that Isiah was more than a coach to him, he was a father figure. I think Jermaine is gonna demand a trade now. Indiana is gonna suck next yr i think because trading Brad Miller for Scot Pollard was a big mistake LOL. Letting Ron Mercer go was stupid too.

Yeah I heard about that, it's really too bad. Isiah has always been one of my favorites, so I'm definitely not pleased to see him go. I don't think he should have been fired, but oh well. I'm sure it wont take him long to find another head coaching job. Hopefully he'll be more successful in his next job.

Indiana won 48 games last season, very respectably. They were an amazing team for the majority of the season last year, not so much in the playoffs...but I hope they don't take a Milwaukee Bucks-like nosedive..........last thing they need is what happened to Milwaukee! It won't be pretty.
