The Indiana Pacers find themselves at the crux of recent drama across the league. With head coach Nate Bjorkgren catching attention in the NBA community for all the wrong reasons, a coaching change may be inevitable at this point, especially with the disappointing campaign the team is having so far.
Long-lived coaching tenures are rare in the NBA, but those as short-lived as Bjorkgren may end up having are equally unusual. The Indiana Pacers are one of the league’s most unyielding believers in loyalty and continuity, but even that may be challenged with the recent rumblings about his mishaps in the locker room amplifying a season of underachievement.
