Frank Vogel, a very good coach Phil Jackson sort of knows, no longer coaches the Pacers

Frank Vogel is free! The Indiana Pacers coach was let go Thursday morning by team president Larry Bird in an press conference that damn near matched our own Phil Jackson's exit interview in terms of smug, rambling, spit-firing horse crap:

Larry Bird says #Pacers job is desirable: "We're Hoosiers, and we treat people - well, other than today - we treat people pretty good."

Bird: I think he did fine but it's all about motivating players and getting them to play at a higher level.
