No longer do fans want to hear Vogel talk about the Pacers remaining an elite team. The Pacers are not even an average team these days. Fans want to see results, and they want to see them now, not two weeks for now.

“It’s not always going to be easy; I understand that,” Vogel said. “Life isn’t easy. It’s particularly not easy being a coach in the NBA; there’s always going to be challenges. There’s always going to be ups and downs.

“I embrace challenges in everything I do in life. I’m looking forward to make adjustments and getting the ship right.”

Vogel knows the pressure is on him.
