      A person to fill in Shaw's role (hopefully McMillan) and a big man coach to take Boylen's role.

        Why would he leave? Better money? A chance to succeed Pop?

            Having a chance to work alongside Pop is a great opportunity. So, good for him. But I'm sad to see our assistant coaches leaving. They did a great job.

              I don't know who you get to replace Shaw but I'd love to see them try to pry Kim Hughes away from Portland to replace Boylen and be a big man specialist.

                  I honestly don't know much about Boylen or what he did.

                      That's the price of success. There wasn't anyone trying to pry JOB's staff away...

                        He is best known for being the big man coach for the Houston Rockets (Hakeem Olajuwon and Yao Ming) '92-03, and was the College Head Coach of Andrew Bogut in Utah '07-'11

                          Here's hoping Frank works his magic like he did two years ago.

                            Neither please. I want a good established Ast with experience.

                              Why do I get the feeling that some people think Frank is all smoke and mirrors?

                              Neither Shaw nor Boylen were here when the Pacers made the initial turn around. That was all Frank with Dan Burke & I can't remember if McCarty & the Ukraine Train were still here or if they left with Jim.

                              Frank Vogel is no joke.

                              I understand the worry's but as has been said success has a way of having people try and pick away at it. Shaw deserves to be a head coach & Boylen probably someday will be as well (maybe, I don't know).

                              Either way don't sweat it, trust in Frank and Frank will set you free.
