Vogel took over as interim coach of the Indiana Pacers in midseason and helped them negotiate a 20-18 finish to their season, plus the eighth seed in the playoffs from the Eastern Conference. Despite his success and a competitive first-round series against the Chicago Bulls, Vogel hasn't been able to secure the Pacers' gig permanently.
In the meantime, Vogel has interviewed with the Houston Rockets about their coaching vacancy, but is rumored not to be among the three finalists being considered. According to the Indianapolis Star, other potential candidates include Dwane Casey, Chuck Person, and Mike Brown.
Below is a clip from a 1986 episode of "Late Night with David Letterman"
on which Frank Vogel performed in a "Stupid Human Tricks" segment. If you were auditioning for a job in the Hoosier State and getting interviewed by Larry Bird, then who could be a better reference than Letterman, an Indiana native himself? Let's get serious, Larry, it's time to give Frank the job. He's earned it.
