Rick Carlisle has worked quickly to fill out his staff, and he's hired Lloyd Pierce as his top assistant.

Customer Reviews
Great listen
Scott and super knowledgeable and fair. Gets solid guests! Can’t wait for future episodes. Def will be helpful when it comes to the 2021 All star game.
Fantastic Podcast
I absolutely love the pacers, and Scott provides such a great analysis of everything pacers and nba. Also the audio quality is far better than most podcasts I listen to.
A Waste
Scott is great. Dave is horrible and seems to know almost nothing about the Pacers.
