Tamika Catchings is on of the best players in the history of the WNBA – an outstanding player who is capable of excellence as a scorer, rebounder, and defender. But she is a better teammate and person. There have been plenty of transcendent Indiana sports figures – Oscar Robertson, Peyton Manning, Reggie Miller, Slick Leonard, […]
With Frank Vogel out, the Pacers are looking for a new coach. Pacers president Larry Bird has been insistent that his team push the ball, shoot threes, and score more points. Vogel didn’t get that done to Bird’s satisfaction, so the search is on for someone who will. Few other hints were offered yesterday as […]
Frank Vogel will not be the coach of the Indiana Pacers moving forward. He hasn’t been fired because Vogel’s contract expired at the end of the playoff series with the Toronto Raptors. The debate that began in earnest as Pacers president Larry Bird shared his thoughts on Vogel with the Indianapolis Star’s Gregg Doyel will now […]
Frank Vogel likely doesn’t know at this moment whether he will invited to return as the coach of the Indiana Pacers (Larry Bird will hold a press conference tomorrow at 11a to talk about this and other topics), but that shouldn’t keep him from making the call on his own future. Leaving the Pacers is […]
There is no doubt after reading the quotes from Pacers president Larry Bird in today’s Indianapolis Statr that he wants to replace coach Frank Vogel. The headline in the Star says Bird is undecided on Vogel’s future, but that sure wasn’t my take. Here are the quotes gathered by Gregg Doyel: “I don’t know what’s […]
Last night, the Indiana Pacers season came to an end, and with it the curtain may be ready to fall on the longest coaching stint in franchise history.

Indianapolis Colts general manager told us last night that Alabama center Ryan Kelly was the best player on their board, the player they targeted all along, and just happens to address their biggest need. Okay. I’ll buy it because I like the pick – a lot. Andrew Luck woke up safer this morning than he […]
Former Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight opened for Donald Trump at a campaign rally last night in Indianapolis, and the result wasn’t the shock and awe hilarity that used to be Knight’s standard fare. Instead, the monologue was strange, rambling, self-serving, and sad. One of the greatest basketball coaches in history has been reduced to […]
What a miserable game. The Pacers appeared unready and incapable to claim a stranglehold in their opening round matchup against the Toronto Raptors. As the fourth quarter began, the Pacers held a commanding 13-point lead, and Paul George was showing himself to be the best player in the series. An incredible 9:30 elapsed in that […]
The 2nd U.S. Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve the four-game suspension originally handed down by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for his role in deflating the footballs to be used by the Pats offense during the 2014 AFC Championship. Of course, this was nothing but a procedural […]
