The Indiana Pacers still need one more assistant coach after Nate McMillan confirmed the duo were staying and serving in the same roles.
The Associated Press reported that McMillan confirmed the news during the 8th annual Caroline Symmes Celebrity Softball Challenge.
Then he told a small group of reporters that Burke, who has spent the past 19 seasons on Indiana’s staff, and Jones, who came to town three years ago with McMillan, would return to the bench next season. With Burke considered the team’s defensive guru, the conventional wisdom has been McMillan would add someone who has been more productive working with the offense.
