During his six years as head coach of the Indiana Pacers, Frank Vogel recorded a 250-181 record, taking the team to two Central Division titles and to the Eastern Conference Finals twice.
He did so by imposing a strong brand of defensive-focused basketball on a young roster. Before blending in a bunch of wily veterans who helped take them to the next level.
Were it not for the LeBron James-led Miami Heat – who thwarted Indiana’s hopes of making the Finals in successive years (2013 and 2014) – Vogel may have taken his team all the way to a NBA title.
