Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle was hit with a $35,000 fine from the NBA for criticizing NBA officials in Pacers playoff series vs New York Knicks

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle has been fined $35,000 for his comments regarding officiating after Game 2 of the Pacers series against the New York Knicks.

Carlisle said that Indiana had 29 plays that they could have sent into the NBA regarding the calls from Game 1, and there were reportedly even more from Game 2. He started his post game media availability after Game 2 by discussing the officiating. "I'm always talking to our guys about not making it about the officials. But we deserve a fair shot. There's not a consistent balance and that's disappointing. So give New York credit for the physicality that they're playing with. But their physicality is rewarded and ours is penalized. Time after time. I'm just really disappointed," the head coach said. "Small market teams deserve an equal shot.

The NBA announced the penalty on Friday morning. "Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle has been fined $35,000 for public criticism of the officiating and questioning the integrity of the league and its officials, it was announced today by Joe Dumars, Executive Vice President, Head of Basketball Operations,".
