Joe Mazzulla on wanting to change the Coach of the Year award:
"I would like that to be changed to 'Staff' or 'Organization' [of the Year] for sure ... At the end of the day, I haven't made one basket all year. Our staff hasn't made a basket ... We haven't played a back-to-back, we didn't have to play hurt. We haven't really done shit."

Bennedict Mathurin wants a starting role with the team, but the Clippers “hold all the leverage” and they have no reason to promise “anything” to a player the Pacers didn’t want to extend, per @LawMurrayTheNU.
