can’tredible sources reporting that Rick Carlisle is resigning or stepping down as head coach of the Indiana Pacers due to harassment. Here’s what’s accurate and up to date:
-
As of June 13, 2025, Carlisle remains the Pacers’ head coach and is leading them in the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder
-
There are no reputable outlets (ESPN, SI, NBA.com, or other major sports media) indicating he’s resigning due to harassment or anything similar.
-
Recent rumors and “breaking news” stories claiming he’s been fired or quit—especially due to harassment—appear on lesser-known or unverified sites and lack confirmation from reputable sources . Those have no backup in mainstream media.
Conclusion
The story you mentioned is most likely a fabrication or misunderstanding. If you’re seeing it elsewhere, I’d approach with skepticism. For now, Rick Carlisle is still actively coaching the Pacers in the NBA Finals.
