12/22/23 • 37 min

On this episode of the Fieldhouse Files podcast, I’ll catch you up on all that’s transpired with the Pacers over the last two weeks since Las Vegas. They’re still coming down from that high, tired and just 2-5 in games since, but they’re finally getting healthy again.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, friends.

Among the items discussed on this episode:

  • The team running on fumes because of a brutal stretch with seven games in 12 days, including Las Vegas.
  • How the tournament was a great experience for the Pacers and really good for exposure, especially for Tyrese Haliburton.
  • George McGinnis passed away at 73.
  • Giannis wants his game ball.
  • Andrew Nembhard misses two weeks with injury, then returns in Memphis.
  • Jalen Smith returns after missing 10 games due to multiple injuries. What I saw in Vegas from him.
  • Haliburton being in a rut, averaging four turnovers per game.
  • How they can count on Aaron Nesmith’s hard play, but also his 3-point shot.
  • Pacers in the community.
  • Pacers owner Herb Simon is a first-time nominee for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in the contributor category. Donnie Walsh has been an eligible candidate for many years.
  • Mad Ants roll to 14 straight wins, will play in Showcase Cup Finals Friday night

Fieldhouse Files: Scott Agness on the Indiana Pacers - Ep. 34: Advance Scout Jimmy Powell

Ep. 34: Advance Scout Jimmy Powell

Fieldhouse Files: Scott Agness on the Indiana Pacers

play

09/07/16 • 37 min

He knows the X’s and O’s of all 30 NBA teams, is on the road over 200 days a year, and his work each season begins when the schedule is released, as it was on Aug. 11. Right then, he begins mapping out his plan, where he needs to be and how he’s going to get there. The entire process will take him into September, the final month of the NBA offseason. Jimmy Powell resides in Springfield, Massachusetts and he is entering his 19th season as the Pacers Advance Scout. He was originally hired by Donnie Walsh, his former coach, and it’s a job — breaking down every single opponent in the way each Pacers assistant coach prefers — that he is quite fond of. “People don’t understand, but I do because I’ve been in this league over 20 years. It all starts with the owner,” he tells me on the podcast. “When you got good ownership, you know there’s going to be stability, they’re always going to give you a chance to win, and they’re going to create a good environment.” The way in which he completes his job has changed and been streamlined with the advancement in technology. All 30 NBA teams employee an advance scout, who studies opponents’ playbook and learns all of their play calls. Attending games days ahead of the Pacers playing them, Powell then inputs their calls into FastDraw, a piece of software used by scouts across the league. In his time with the Pacers, he’s worked for six different head coaches. Nate McMillan is No. 6. “If it was another organization, I probably would have been somewhere else. But it’s Indiana, and it’s been great.” Over the summer, I sat down with Powell for a conversation on his role as advance scout. Subscribe to the Pacers Podcast on iTunes. I welcome your questions and comments @ScottAgness on Twitter or via email. Topics Discussed: * His long history with Pacers consultant Donnie Walsh * Why working for a great owner is critical * How he got — and has remained — in the NBA * What it’s like to book his schedule, and to have millions of airline miles * Why he has remained in his role for so long and not opted for a “normal” life * What makes longtime assistant coach Dan Burke so special

08/02/22 • 33 min

These are the conversations I love having. It’s why I launched the podcast in the first place back in 2015.

To peel back the curtain and introduce you to members of the team behind the team.

On this episode of the Fieldhouse Files, I’m sitting down with Tyler Marsh. He’s coached at all levels, most recently on staff with the Pacers the past two seasons and is now working with Becky Hammon and the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA.

Among the items discussed on this episode:

  • His whirlwind year — finishing the season with the Pacers, joining the Aces and expecting his first child in Sept.
  • Pacers assistant coach Jenny Boucek, a close friend of Becky Hammon’s, connecting Marsh and then attending the first week of training camp. (5:48)
  • On two unique seasons with the Pacers and growing up a fan of the team. (8:20)
  • Getting paired with players for workouts, pre-game warmups. (14:20)
  • His role with the Aces and taking on more responsibilities. (17:24)
  • How this past weekend was his first visit to historic Hinkle Fieldhouse. (21:20)
  • Influence of his father Donnie Marsh on coaching and whether he tried to talk Tyler out of it. (22:15)
  • Receiving a game ball from Pacers coach Rick Carlisle and the team after his final game. (25:50)

“I spent some time with the Mad Ants, their G League team, back in 2016-17 season and I didn’t think it could get much better than that,” Marsh said. “When I was able to join the staff of the Pacers that was truly a blessing and truly a dream come true.

“My two years here, forget about the wins and losses, the Pacers are a Class A organization from top to bottom and the way that they embraced me and the way that the community embraced myself and my wife was great. I couldn’t have asked for more during my time here.”

Nate McMillan looks at ease, comfortable in his role and with this team. He’s been with the Pacers since 2013 and has coached more than 1,000 games. The reset button was hit on the roster and just two starters return (and six players in all) from last year’s team that bowed out in the first round of the playoffs to Cleveland. Out at the Brickyard Crossing Golf Course Wednesday morning for the annual golf outing that benefits the Pacers Foundation, Nate McMillan first spoke with golfers and then to the media for more than 12 minutes. What was discussed: * Youth, and being a “prove it” year for so many players * How they are going to live by hustle and heart * Potential starters, and who is on the outside * Lance Stephenson being the sixth man * Why he no longer golfs * Al Jefferson dropping weight * Damien Wilkins brought in for leadership Watch his full comments below: Or, if you prefer a condensed version: Highlights from 13 minutes with Pacers coach Nate McMillan ... on youth, Lance, and potential lineup.
