Rick Carlisle After Ejection: Small-Market Teams Deserve An Equal Shot

May 8, 2024 11:18 PM

Rick Carlisle was ejected at the end of the Indiana Pacers' Game 2 loss at the New York Knicks. Carlisle plans on submitting video of missed calls to the league office on Thursday ahead of Game 3 back in Indiana.

"I'm always talking to our guys about not making it about the officials," said Carlisle. "But we deserve a fair shot. And there's not a consistent balance. And that's disappointing."

Carlisle also talked about the possibility of the size of the two teams markets making a difference in how the game is officiated. 

"Small-market teams deserve an equal shot,” Carlisle added. “They deserve a fair shot no matter where they are playing."

Carlisle was also disappointed by the officiating in Game 1, but took a more magnanimous approach with his comments to the media.
