INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Rick Carlisle told the Indiana Pacers he will not return as the team's executive vice president.
Carlisle was fired in April after four tumultuous years as Indiana's coach. The team offered him the option of returning as vice president, a title he was given as part of a new multiyear deal before this season.
Carlisle said in a statement Tuesday it would be "better for both the Pacers and myself to part ways at this time." He said he told Pacers chief executive Donnie Walsh and president Larry Bird about the decision Friday.
