Indiana Pacers finalizing deal for new head coach

The Indiana Pacers are finalizing a deal to promote assistant Nate McMillan to head coach, according to league sources.

For the past three years, McMillan had been the top assistant to Frank Vogel. This will be McMillan’s third head-coaching job in the NBA, after stops with Portland and Seattle.

McMillan interviewed for the job with Pacers officials late in the week, was offered the job and the two sides were ironing out contract terms on Saturday.
