Basketball Betting Lines

05/17/2011 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Indiana Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird spoke to the media at Conseco Fieldhouse on Tuesday morning and indicated that interim coach Frank Vogel is under consideration for the job on a full-time basis.

"He is the front-runner," Bird said, adding that he has "been in contact with some [other] guys."

Vogel took over for Jim O'Brien after the team started 17-27. The Pacers went 20-18 under Vogel, finishing at 37-45 and making the playoffs as an eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. They were knocked out in the first round by the top-seeded Chicago Bulls in five games.

Bird also said he was happy with the current direction of the team, but does not consider 37 wins to be a success.

"We're in a position to take it to the next level," Bird added.
