Here are five potential replacements should the Indiana Pacers part ways with their current head coach, Frank Vogel.
After an epic seven game series in the first round of the 2016 NBA Playoffs, the Indiana Pacers saw their 2015-16 season come to an end after a loss in Game Seven against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. The Pacers entered the postseason following a 45-37 record, which was good for second place in the Central Division and the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
Now, attention turns to the head coaching spot with the Pacers and if this was Frank Vogel’s final game in Indiana. Though he signed a contract extension before the 2014-15 season, Vogel has come under fire for what some view as underachieving while with the Pacers, advancing to the conference finals just twice during his six year tenure despite having stars like Paul George and former players David West and Roy Hibbert.
Following Sunday’s loss, Indiana officials wouldn’t discuss the future of their current head coach, adding to the speculation about what will take place. If Vogel is indeed let go by the Pacers, here are five possible replacements that could be first in line for the top spot in the Hoosier State.
