O'Brien's In for the Pacers

Jim O'Brien has been hired as the new coach of the Pacers. He has a winning record from his stints in Philly and Boston. I find it odd that they would go after O'Brien instead of a young guy. But his focus will be on discipline and organization. Maybe the plan is to bring the Pacers back into contention and then bring in someone else. Who knows.... and who knows what Larry Bird's next move is next. I think there is going to be a lot of moves this summer and Bird is usually one to keep things under wraps until a news conference, ie. see the Jim O'Brien hire. He wasn't even a name mentioned at all by the Indy Star or even asked for a second interview. But I do have to say that the way Bird does things secretly is for the good of everyone. He wouldn't be able to get anything done at all. He is just that way. Good Luck to the Pacers and this summer as there will probably be lots of moves and trades. I look for them to trade Jermaine O'Neal for a contender in Western Conference and Jamaal Tinsley to anyone who will take him.

Drop a Note and be in prayers for Coach P at HoopScoop.
Have a Great Day!
