Larry Bird is looking for a new coach who will have the Pacers play small and carry a big stick.
On the first score, Indiana’s team president reiterated Thursday, when he announced Frank Vogel would not be returning as head coach, that Vogel’s offensive system just didn’t cut it in today’s NBA. Seeing the Pacers move up one place in offensive efficiency, from 24th last season to 23rd this season, when he was operating under an edict to move the offense into the 21st century, told Bird that he needed to make a change.
