I would\u2019ve sworn this was already reported \u2013 but the Indiana Pacers are expected to name Frank Vogel their head coach for 2011 today. <\/p>\n
Vogel took over as interim coach after Jim O\u2019Brien\u2019s 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\u2019s bench as an associate head coach. <\/p>\n The Detroit Pistons are now the only NBA team without a head coach.<\/p>\n Rudy Fernandez to play one more year in NBA?<\/strong><\/p>\n It appears Rudy Fernandez is not long for the NBA \u2013 but he plans to honor the rest of his current contract. The Dallas Mavericks forward had previously complained about playing time and talked about returning to his native Spain before he was traded to the reigning NBA champs last month. <\/p>\n He also reportedly received a lucrative offer from Real Madrid. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n But Fernandez says he\u2019ll honor final year of his contract before going anywhere. He averaged 9.1 points over three season with the Portland Trail Blazers.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s sports water cooler talk.
