B/c it's a tool, not THE tool. (JOB show)

I guess I missed that joke.

Re: Mike Wells:Simple is better for hot Pacers

I will take your word for it. He hasn't been young since I have been watching basketball(Jordan). I just want to point out that the majority of championship coaches this decade have been older. Nothing against younger coaches but the older ones deserve some respect..

Phill was hired by the BUlls when he as 44. Pretty young.

Jerry Sloan took over the Jazz when he was 46, had his first job when he was 37 though.

Pop was 47.

Mike Brown's a young coach too IMO.

I'm just sayin' I have zero interest in hiring someone over the age of 50. JOB was 55 when we brought him in.

Seriously, the NBA coaching is a young man's game, and he's got some great tools to grow as a coach.

The Pacers are the Jamaican bobsled team and the Celtics are the Swiss.

Pop and Jackson are members of a dying breed. A fraternity that got one man smaller yesterday.

Plus Jackson started winning as a young coach, no?

I couldn't care less about any connections. I like that we are modeling ourselves after a winning team and a winning franchise. I don't really get why that bothers people, but to each his own.

I just picture in my mind us trailing after the Celtics picking up their leftovers. Probably just me. If we keep winning though, I won't complain

I love what Frank is doing.

But am I the only one that gets a little sick with all of these Boston connections the Pacers seem to make?? Makes you feel a little bit dirty if you ask me.

Boston's offense.

I love Boston's offense.

I love the motivation tactics too.

I'm still waiting to see on how he does with adjustments..but really, I think Vogel has "it" as a coach.

I'm almost as excited to watch him grow as a coach for the rest of the season, as I am to watch the players grow.

Great point, I have to agree. I am very interested in watching our young players and our young coach grow throughout the rest of the season. I really hope we make the playoffs so we can see what these guys are really made of.

How can we possibly be "spacing the court"? We no longer employ a "stretch 4" and we don't use the 3 as our primary scoring threat for the purposes of creating space. How in the world can we possibly be "spacing the court"?

Blasphemy I tell you...blasphemy.
