The Indiana Pacers have parted ways with Frank Vogel.

Vogel became head coach of the Pacers in 2011.

"I know it’s not going to be a 100 percent popular move. All I think about is the franchise," said Larry Bird in announcing the move.

Bird began to consider a coaching change around the All-Star break.

Vogel led the Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2013 and 2014.
