Pacers co-owner to get involved
Posted: Thursday April 17, 2008 07:14AM ET
Herb Simon has never been a meddling, look-over-the-shoulder executive in 25 years as co-owner of the Indiana Pacers. That's about to change. Simon, 73, sticking to his word that he would make managerial changes to fix a franchise that has fallen on hard times, announced Wednesday he will become chairman and chief executive officer of Pacers Sports and Entertainment and consult with Larry Bird on basketball decisions. Simon also announced former Indianapolis civic leader Jim Morris will become president of Pacers Sports and Entertainment and oversee the business operations of Conseco Fieldhouse, the Pacers and Fever.
