reports indicating that Pacers GM Chad Buchanan has publicly disagreed with head coach Rick Carlisle—or any coach—on a recent issue. Most of the latest coverage involves general roster and development strategy discussions, not conflicts.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s actually out there:
* In May 2025, Buchanan gave an honest take on Indiana’s small-market challenges, emphasizing how the team attracts players who truly love the game ([si.com][1]).
* Over the past year, he’s been focused on re-signing key guys like Myles Turner, Tyrese Haliburton, and managing roster composition ([ipacers.com][2]).
* There are no credible sources or insider leaks suggesting Buchanan and the head coach are at odds.
