Basically if youâre a team in the East youâre missing a guy with an Achilles injury

I think I read Nevada replaced him with Jarod Lucas
I assume it being the Pacers may have sweetened the pot.
Also, Iâll just say it. I wonder if the last several months made him question whether it was the right time to hang it upâŚ

Makes sense.
I mean you come home from Europe to coach because you want to settle down and be near family and within months the guy who brought you in quits, within 9 months youâre out of a job and looking for a job to support your family.
A chance to play with your hometown organization and I wouldnât be surprised if Rick finds a landing spot for home even if itâs not on the court full time.

Kyle was the guy I felt reeeeally bad for when Tony bolted. He left a fairly lucrative Euro pro career to come back home and learn coaching under Tonyâs wing. Then it turned out Tony needed that wing to fly, fly away.
Hope heâll get to log some time with the Pacers under Carlisle and Jenny B.

I donât know what he was making at Nevada, but I saw that their 2nd and 3rd assistants were in the low 100s.
100K in Reno to work the CBB assistant track with the long hours and sometimes brutal travel schedule or a GLeague base salary of 40k plus the Exhibit 10 bonus of 75k with team provided housing to play a 5 month season in the suburbs of Indianapolis? HmmâŚ

And get to do what you love in your hometown with your peoples around you.
That will erase a lot of the monetary concerns

The Exhibit 10 bump is helpfulâŚyou could make more money being a nomad abroad, but you are incurring a bit of âthe team canât actually payâ and âthe eccentric owner likes to cut imports after 1 bad gameâ risk.

Kyle Guy came home to Indianapolis the weekend of Sept. 19-21 having fully embraced his retirement as a professional basketball player and his new career as a coach. The former 28-year-old Lawrence Central High School star and Virginia All-American was ostensibly in Indy on a recruiting trip, but he brought his wife Alexa â also from Indy â and his two sons with him so the oldest could celebrate his fourth birthday with all his grandparents, aunts and uncles.
But that Sunday the 21st, Guy played in a 3-on-3 event at Arsenal Tech High School organized by The Next Chapter, which turns 1-on-1 and 3-on-3 basketball into social media content. While Guy was there he spoke with Johnny Carpenter, a newly-hired Pacers assistant coach who was an assistant at Virginia when Guy played there and Carpenter asked Guy if he wanted to play again. The next day a 40-second video of Guyâs play at The Next Chapter went, picking up millions of views and the Pacers called him to ask if heâd be interested in an Exhibit 10 contract. That would effectively mean playing for the G Leagueâs Noblesville Boom and leaving his job at Nevada before his first season, but it was an easy decision. By Wednesday, Sept. 24 heâd agreed to terms.
âThey were like, âAre you interested in an E-10?ââ Guy said by phone Thursday. âI said, âHell yeah, Iâm interested.ââ
