It is widely assumed that Larry Bird is about to tell the world that Frank Vogel will no longer coach the Indiana Pacers. This dismissal seems a bit rash given how the team overachieved in what the whole franchise said was a transition year.
But while there are logical reasons that a GM could want to part ways with even a coach as successful as Frank Vogel has been, that’s not the real issue.
In my eyes, the unseemly aspect is how this is going down.

On top of being a bit blindsided by all this, Vogel is having to listen to Bird discuss his future in the press in a way that is unbecoming of the franchise and certainly isn’t warranted when dealing with someone who has, regardless of how you feel about his coaching, been a great representative of the Indiana Pacers organization for more than a half decade.
