https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2942713...-nate-bjorkgren> Bjorkgren's communication style has been categorized as aggressive and abrasive with players and members of the Pacers staff, from his front-of-the-bench assistants down to trainers and equipment personnel. That behavior was cited as the cause for one assistant coach's resignation and one player to elect for season-ending surgery.
So Assistant Coach Bill Bayno resigned, and Warren ended his own season because of him
> the Pacers grew to specifically covet a "Nick Nurse-type," sources said... From there, it became clear to many involved in the coaching search that Indiana's opening was being whittled down to two options. There was Bjorkgren, Nurse's right hand in Toronto, and then-New Orleans assistant Chris Finch
> Bjorkgren seems to have emerged as the team's ultimate hire based primarily on his relationships with people in the front office, including Buchanon, the general manager.
> Bjorkgren and Buchanon are considered to be close friends dating back to their college days. Both men, like Nurse, hail from Iowa originally; both played for Division III teams in Iowa—Bjorkgren at Buena Vista and Buchanon at Simpson, where Bjorkgren's uncle is now the head coach.
> "They didn't do their background on who [Bjorkgren] was or how he treated people," said one person close to the coaching search. "They just talked hoops with him."
> "When he was hired I was surprised, because he's not the easiest to work with just on anything," said one of Bjorkgren's former G League players. "He's kind of stubborn, won't listen, even though it might be good conversation. He's a micromanager and he's not for everyone."
> When a G League practice schedule ran a bit behind or a ball rack was out of place, Bjorkgren could erupt at players and staffers without a moment's notice. "The frustration level at little things going wrong didn't match up with the issues," said another former G League colleague.
> In Phoenix, when Bjorkgren was elevated to an assistant under Earl Watson, he operated in an often clandestine fashion, sources told B/R, and sought ways for himself to channel daily communication from players and other coaches to Watson. "He would get in early and kind of orchestrate the path for himself"
> That behavior seems to have continued in Toronto. One league source compared the dynamic to Bjorkgren acting like a politician's chief of staff, at points preventing other coaches and Toronto's players from holding conversations with Nurse that did not go through Bjorkgren first. "He would do things like police the communication about the team schedule on a road trip and when other people got a hold of it, so he was in control," said the person with knowledge of the situation... seems to be doing it without the head coach's direction
> Shortly after Christmas, word began to circulate that Bjorkgren was indeed prone to screaming at longtime Indiana staffers just as he'd done in the G League
> He is prone to call out an assistant during specific drills...."He doesn't mind embarrassing his coaches," said one league executive.
>Longtime Pacers assistant coach Billy Bayno resigned in February. "That's pretty much unheard of," noted one team scout. And while Bayno's decision was announced to be a result of personal and health reasons, league sources said he departed Indiana because he was personally no longer able to work under Bjorkgren.

Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me'. - G.Orwell
