Carlisle talks about being ejected: The referee gave the ball to the opponent without telling anyone
6686 Sports News on November 6 In an NBA regular season that ended today, the Pacers lost to the Nets 103-112 at the home court.
Pacers coach Carlisle was ejected early in the third quarter because he was dissatisfied with the referee's call. After the game, he talked about the decision.
"Obviously, I did a terrible job of not preparing the team well and getting ejected at the beginning of the second half. When that possession happened, I didn't see any indication of who owned the ball and I thought it was our ball.
Ben Sheppard was about to serve and we were going to adjust our press-breaking strategy, but all of a sudden, the referee didn't call us. They gave the ball to Porter and he hit a three-pointer. The whole thing looked wrong. I just wanted to know what happened, and then there was a technical violation."
After 8 games this season, the Pacers have a record of only 1 win and 7 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.
