Vogel Returning to Coach Pacers

[LT Profits]

This should not be news but a few mistakenly thought his job was in jeopardy.

[jjgold]

I think they need some new players

Have no idea what there going to do any off-season

I would think Hibbert is going to be moved

[KRIT]

I thought he would get fired.....and should get fired. Pacers basically played .500 basketball for half of the season. I think they were one game above .500 since the all-star break. Something happened inside that locker-room. Teams don't go from being dominant to down 30 to the Hawks at home.

I thought he would get fired and Mark Jackson would get hired.

[ChiLLx]

He still got his team to back to back eastern conference finals. It's not like his team was flushed with all stars. What was he supposed to do.

Exactly

I really want to know what happened. There were rumors of players sleeping with teammates wives, players fighting off the court, and then we all know about Paul George's off the court problems. All these things to ruin team chemistry smh

[cane]

I'm lukewarm on Vogel, while I don't feel he's a top notch head coach, he did get his team to the Eastern conf finals two straight years, the Pacers just aren't as good as the Heat, tough to blame the coach when you're going against a more dominant team. Indiana has some holes, they need an upgrade at the point, and some more bench help. Jeff Van Gundy made a good point last night regarding the Heat and Pacers, he said Michael Beasley would see significant minutes coming off Indiana's bench as a scorer, meanwhile he hasn't played all playoffs for the Heat, and is usually inactive. A player that Miami never plays would be a big part of Indiana's rotation, that says a lot.

Not surprised

[homie1975]

Some called for mchale and vogel to lose their jobs. I was with the majority who said no.

i did think shanahan would get one more year with the redskins though

Nah, I knew shanny would be gone, him and RG3 never got along

[vasilli07]

1 out of the worst coach in NBA for drawing up plays out of the timeout. He can consider himself extremely lucky to keep his job. Afterall, this was suppose to be their 'championship or bust' year.

[jjgold]

How about Bird??

Maybe he is the issue

He is a dumb fuk

Actually, the issue is called ''Lebron James", and after he re-signs with Miami, the Pacers will have to keep dealing with him. Think about those teams in the East that could never get past Jordan. Vogel said it best last night; "We're competing against the Michael Jordan of our era, and the Chicago Bulls of our era". That about sums it up.

[4TH AND STUPID]

hibbert needs to go. the guy is fukin awful. just ruined this team. his backup is garbage too. they need a real big man to complement west.

[easyliving]

its the East, besides Miami rest of the conference is a nonfactor.

That is 1 big factor but doesn't excuse them from playing so badly throughout the playoffs. They were so much better and more competitive last season.

[Cross]

Lucky to save his job.

[akphidelt]

You can put Phil Jackson as coach of the Pacers and they would not get past Lebron. I still think he isn't a great coach though and it's questionable. Some new blood might pump them up.

[homie1975]

Nah, I knew shanny would be gone, him and RG3 never got along

We all know that but snyder had to eat 7 mil by firing mike and niw needs to pay the new guy as well

[Mitchell88]

Vogels job should have never been in jeopardy. I am so sick of the heat always winning, the nba is the biggest joke of all the sports

[Wrigley]

Agree does not matter who was coach nobody would have beat lebron

[Mr KLC]

Really thought that Vogel might have been let go, and Bird would then step in. With Vogel staying, it makes me think some players are leaving.

[Thor4140]

i knew he would be gone the day they hired him. One of the most overrated coaches in nfl history. Road Elway's fame to get his fame.

[mr. leisure]

I was hoping they would get rid of vogel and the hire mark jackson so I wouldn`t have to hear him anymore on TV .

[crustyme]

back to back eastern conf finals..... and dumbfuks thought he should be let go?

[cane]

Chump change for a guy like that. He could probably find that much in the cushions of his couch lol

[Cuse0323]

Vogel is fine but he needs to command more respect or the Pacers need players who care more about the team than themselves.

[jjgold]

Larry Bird is the real problem

Do you guys realize how dumb he is??

Ever hear him talk??

10th grade education

No worse than listening to one of your video rants on here.

Just when you cannot be any more ignorant you find a way to top yourself.

Bird constructed a team that is the only real threat to Miami in East with guys nobody really wanted. Guy is a Legend in every aspect of basketball. You are the jester of an internet forum. Bird 1, Baldy 0.

[TheMoneyShot]

Indiana had 2 easy teams to go against... Atlanta and Washington. Don't say those 2 teams are great. And Indiana struggled against them. And looked like a joke against Miami. Vogel should be fired.

[Wrigley]

JJ you want Isaiah Thomas to run the team

[Otters27]

Funny how a coach's job is perceived to be in jeopardy after making conference finals for two years. They hit the tank because they started out too fast. Maybe they will learn next year

Indiana went as far as they could, they're the second best team in the East, they'll never be as good as Miami as long as Lebron is there. To say Vogel should be fired because the Pacers lost to the Heat, is unfair imo. Pop, Rivers, Thibadeaux, even Phil Jackson could coach this Indiana team, and they would also lose to Miami. Indiana lost because they don't have the talent the Heat do, end of story, it has nothing to do with coaching. Reaching the Easter conference finals is as far as that team, (as currently constructed) will ever go. Also, the Pacers were something like 4-1 underdogs vs. Miami, so the outcome was as expected. Don't blame the coach when a huge dog loses a series.

Well put

[BigSpoon]

They went as far as they could have with that roster. It's not Vogel's fault they lost to Miami again.
