The Los Angeles Lakers confirmed they hired Frank Vogel to be their next head coach in a press release on Monday afternoon, and he’s slated to speak to the media for the first time next Monday, June 20.
But his first remarks to the public since being hired are already here, courtesy of said press release, and it sounds like Vogel is eager to return to the organization he last worked in as an advance scout during the 2005-06 season.
“I am very excited for this opportunity to join the Lakers, a prestigious organization that I have long admired,” Vogel said in the press release.
