Pacers coach Rick Carlisle has stuck up for what he believes in during these NBA Finals — particularly the people he believes in, Doris Burke and Scott Foster.

Friday was Foster’s 26th Finals game worked, more than any other active referee. He has also worked 262 playoff games, again the most among active refs.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle is having none of it. He spent a part of his Sunday NBA Finals media availability defending Foster. He had a similar moment earlier in the championship series when ESPN's Doris Burke was heavily criticized for her commentary.
