    According to the Indianapolis Star, “Vogel, 42, began his career as the ladder-climbing video coordinator who would do anything to get his foot into the prestigious door of big-time basketball."

    That seems to be the beaten path nowadays.

    I don't get the Vogel thing. I think he did great things with very little to work with.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, this seems like a puzzling move. And Bird's comments to the press about it weren't enlightening, mostly rambling about needing a new direction and how great Vogel is, but "good coaches tend to move on after three years" or something.

    Larry bird said he "has too much respect" for Mchale on if he'd take the job...

    Yeah, he's a respected defensive coach. I hope Olshey is considering adding his coaching talents to the team. Vogel will probably wait for another head coaching gig, but it wouldn't hurt talking to him.

    Yeah, I'd want him on this team... but he's sold himself as a head coach, so there's little chance. :(

    Oh just insinuating that some really awesome team we all like a lot maybe might be in need of a good defensive head coach. (But I wasn't being too serious about it, hence the cryptic emoji.)

    JV is saving the Geko's. Why they choose to keep chucking instead of feed the man is mental...

    Both the heat and raptors run nothing but Iso and basic pick and roll. These teams suck.

    Bird must have been referring to himself. Didn't he say he was only going to coach three years, and then walk away on schedule, right at the peak of the team's success?

    Lowry 7 of 22 from the field tonight. And this has been about what he has shot the whole post season. Seems another star is struggling.
