Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle gave his thoughts on the shocking firing of Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown. The Kings abruptly decided to part ways with their former coach, likely due to the poor first quarter of the season the team is having. Brown notched a 13-18 record this season before departing from Sacramento.
Carlisle was in shock to hear the news. During a recent press conference interview, Carlisle pointed out how talented Mike Brown was as a coach. He genuinely thinks that Brown is one of the best coaches there is in the league today, which baffles him that the Kings decided to shut the door on him.
“The firing of Mike Brown today was just shocking to me," Carlisle said. "I view him as one of the standard bearers for integrity for our profession, and I'm just just absolutely shocked.”
