What’s it like being an NBA coach behind the scenes each day?
HoopsHype was granted exclusive access to Indiana’s coaching staff during their trip to New York on October 24-25 to find out.
This venture included sitting in on a coaches meeting at the hotel the day before facing the Knicks, riding the team bus to Madison Square Garden for shootaround and the game, listening to what Pacers coaches told their players before taking the court, halftime adjustments, and after the game.
During the fellowship and talking with the coaches during their meeting, HoopsHype learned how the NBA grind affects the sleep habits of coaches and their family life, what happens on team plane rides and bus trips, how coaches prepare for games, what happens during in-game chats, and how the job has changed over the past decade.
