According to a recent report, the Indiana Pacers may let head coach Frank Vogel go once his contract expire in June. Which NBA team would be best for Vogel to end up with for the 2016-17 season?
The general consensus across the NBA is that Indiana Pacers head coach Frank Vogel is one of the best at what he does. He’s an elite defensive mind who’s led the Pacers to intriguing and progressive success since taking over in 2010-11.
With his contract set to expire in June, however, it’s unclear whether or not the Pacers will bring him back. If that surprises you, it’s likely because Vogel has helped the Pacers return to contending status over six fruitful seasons.
Oddly enough, Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reports that the Pacers haven’t yet committed to bringing Vogel back for the 2016-17 season.
Sources: Indiana coach Frank Vogel's contract expires at season's end and so far there's been no discussion of a contract extension.

Wojnarowski continued:
Vogel would have intense appeal on the market. He could be patient with choosing a new job -- if he doesn't return to Indiana.
