NBA news: Pacers to name Vogel head coach
I would’ve sworn this was already reported – but the Indiana Pacers are expected to name Frank Vogel their head coach for 2011 today.
Vogel took over as interim coach after Jim O’Brien’s midseason firing and took the Pacers to a 20-18 record, helping them reach the playoffs for the first time since 2006. 
Lakers assistant Brian Shaw was considered a major candidate for the job but has instead accepted a spot on Indiana’s bench as an associate head coach.
The Detroit Pistons are now the only NBA team without a head coach.
Rudy Fernandez to play one more year in NBA?

But Fernandez says he’ll honor final year of his contract before going anywhere. He averaged 9.1 points over three season with the Portland Trail Blazers.
