Frank Vogel Q&A

ORLANDO – All you need to know about Orlando Magic coach Frank Vogel’s drive, passion and will to win can be summed up in one decision from 1993 – one that he still defines as ``a life-changing moment for me’’ today.

A junior and a captain on the Division III Juniata (Pa.) College basketball team, Vogel was dumbfounded and angered when his coach told the squad that it wouldn’t be practicing over the three-week break for the Christmas holiday. Instead, the team would practice just the once on the day before resuming game action in early January.
