The Indiana Pacers have decided not to bring back Frank Vogel as the team's head coach.
Pacers' president Larry Bird wants more offense from his squad and has decided to move on from Vogel. While Vogel will have interest around the league -- with the New York Knicks reportedly seeking his services -- look for Bird's ex-teammate Kevin McHale to be linked to the Pacers' vacancy.
Vogel was always known as more of a defensive coach -- Indiana ranked third in defensive efficiency this season, according to our ratings -- and Indiana made the decision last offseason to implement a more up-tempo, offensive-minded approach. The Pacers went 45-37 this season, earning the No. 7 seed in an improved Eastern Conference. Vogel spent five-plus seasons in Indy and finishes with a 250-181 record. His tenure peaked with a 56-win season in 2013-'14, but the Pacers couldn't get past the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals.
