The Pacers were one of the hottest teams in the first half of the NBA season. What happened to the second half of the season? We don't know. There were rumors that Paul George had slept with Roy Hibbert's fiance, but George denied the accusation on Instagram. The Indiana Pacers, led by head coach Frank Vogel were in danger of nearly being upset by the No. 8 seed Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs. If this would have happened, you had better believe that Vogel's job would have been in jeopardy.
After winning a tough series over the Washington Wizards in the next round, and winning 2 games vs. the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, it is looking ever-more likely that Vogel will be staying in Indianapolis. There has been no more rumblings from Larry Bird and the Indiana brass that Vogel could be let go.
Vogel has led the Pacers to back-to-back appearances in the Eastern Conference Finals, both times losing to the Miami Heat. Vogal signed a contract extension in 2013 that carried over the 2014-2015 season.
Since Vogel took over as Pacers head coach in the middle of the 2010-11 season, Vogel has accumulated a win record of 167-100 in the regular season. In the playoffs, he is 28-26.
