After the fireworks yesterday, a lot of names were mentioned as possible candidates for replacing Frank Vogel as head coach of the Indiana Pacers. Since the list read like a near unabridged database of every unemployed former head coach, I got the sense that we were not exactly hearing about any sort of search that was particularly focused at this point.
It sounds like Larry Bird plans to kick the tires on several options. And we probably shouldn’t expect any new hire announcement immediately since he said in his press conference that he hopes to talk with some people during the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago, which doesn’t begin until Wednesday, May 11.
