The newness of Pacers president Larry Bird and owner Herb Simon’s handshake
agreement has worn off.

Bird和Simon的握手協議已經失去新鮮感了。
（handshake agreement：意指Bird決定繼續當總裁這件事。這詞彙的由來，跟據
PacersDigest論壇的鄉民指出，Simon和Bird一直以來都沒有就工作的事簽下合約，完全
依賴兩個人之間的信賴與默契。而且這樣的慣例似乎從Walsh還在的時候就開始了。)

Now it’s time for the Pacers to turn their attention to the coaching search
(and the predraft camp in Chicago) this week.

目前這個星期是Pacers把注意力轉移到尋找教練（以及在Chicago的選前營)的時候了。

Bird is expected to talk to the media about his decision to return for
another season and likely answer some coaching questions Tuesday.

Bird預計在星期二（台北時間17日23時)向媒體談論他的回歸並且可能回答一些關於教練
的問題。

Frank Vogel, who led the Pacers to a 20-18 record and the playoffs, is still
the likely frontrunner for the job.

Vogel以20勝18負的成績帶領Pacers殺入季後賽，他依然是爭取教練工作的領先者。

Bird said last month that Vogel will get the first and last interview during
the process. He also said he wants to “talk to a few (other) people”
before making a decision.

Bird上個月表示，Vogel會得到他的第一次和最後一次面試。他也說他在做決定之前想要
和其他人談談。

The Pacers have yet to contact potential candidates Mike Brown, Dwane Casey 
or Chuck Person, according to sources. Expect the Pacers to start reaching
out to them.

消息來源指出，Pacers尚未接洽Mike Brown，Dwane Casey或是Chuck Person這些潛在的
人選。預期Pacers會開始和他們有所接觸。

Brown (Golden State), Casey (Houston and Golden State) and Person (Golden
Sate and Lakers) are all in the running for other jobs around the league,
according to reports.

根據報導，Brown（GS)，Casey（HOU & GS）和Person（GS & LAL)都是聯盟中其他隊伍的
教練工作的競爭者。

Vogel: He earned a lot of respect from many of his peers around the league
for being able to turn what looked like a disastrous season into  the
Pacers’ first playoff berth since 2006.

Vogel：由於他把Pacers看起來像是災難一樣的球季，扭轉成Pacers自從'06年之後的首次
季後賽出線，他獲得聯盟中許多同業的尊敬。

Simon is a big supporter of Vogel because he got the players to play hard,
something that wasn’t always the case with Jim O’Brien. But it’s Bird’s
call on who he wants to be the coach.

因為Vogel讓球員們用盡全力打球的本事，Simon是他的有力支持者，這樣的事情（意指球
員全力奮戰)在JOB帶隊的時候可不是天天發生的。但是誰來當教練是由Bird來決定的。

Vogel helped his chances when the Pacers competed in four of their five
games against the Bulls.

Pacers在和Bulls的五場季後賽的其中四場，對Vogel取得未來的任職機會有很大的幫助。

Vogel will have to tighten things up with the players. Practices were too
loose at times. That’s not good for a team that has a lot of young players.

Vogel將必須幫助球員上緊發條。有時候球隊的練習太放鬆了。對於一個充滿年輕球員的
隊伍來說，這不事一件好事。
（根據消息指出，Vogel接手球隊之後，比起JOB時期而言，球隊練習沒有那麼嚴格。有時
候甚至是Bird到場觀看之後才開始認真練球。Bird本身是很重視球隊練習的，這可能會影
響他對Vogel的觀感。Bird在最新的記者會裡也講到他希望Vogel帶領球隊練習的時候能夠
更加嚴格。推測JOB以往一直很受Bird的支持也有很大部分是因為JOB治軍嚴謹的原因。)

Vogel doesn’t need to become an O’Brien clone, just make sure the players
are focused when they need to be.

Vogel不需要複製JOB那一套，但是他要保證球員會在該專注的時候全心投入。

Person: He has a history with the Pacers. He was drafted by them, worked in
the front office for them and was in charge of the defense as an assistant
coach under former coach Rick Carlisle.

Person：他的過去和Pacers有淵源。他是Pacers選進聯盟的，也曾在Pacers的制服組工作
過，還在Rick手下擔任過負責防守的助理教練。

The Pacers finished in the top 10 defensively under Person during the
2006-07 season.

Person在'06-07球季於Pacers工作的時候，Pacers是聯盟防守前十強的球隊。

Person coached the Lakers defense this season. They finished fifth in the
league in field goal defense, eighth in points allowed and third in 3-point
field goal defense.

Person擔任教練本季負責Lakers的防守。他們以防守命中率第5名，被得分第8名以及防守
三分球命中率第8名的成績結束球季。

Person, who interviewed for the Chicago Bulls job in 2008, also worked
closely with center Andrew Bynum, Ron Artest and Kobe Bryant.

Person在'08年參加過Bulls的面試，他也和Bynum，Artest，Bryant緊密合作進行訓練。

Brown: He spent two seasons as Carlisle’s associate head coach before
heading to Cleveland to coach LeBron James and Co.

Brown：他在前往Cleveland帶領"LBJ和他的手下們"之前，在Carlisle的教練團當了兩季
的首席助理教練。

The Cavaliers went to the NBA Finals in 2007.

Cavs過去在'07年打進了NBA總冠軍賽。

Brown is known for his defense, a problem area for the Pacers (not one
player received an all-defensive team vote).

Brown以防守為長，而這正是Pacers目前的問題所在（沒有人獲得最佳防守隊伍的選票)。

Casey: He’s been waiting for a second shot after being let go by Minnesota
halfway through his second season. The T’Wolves were 20-20 when Casey was
fired. They went 12-30 the rest of the season.

Casey：經歷在Minnesota的第二個球季的半途被解職之後，他正在尋找第二個機會。當時
T'Wolves有五成勝率。他們後來的球季成績為12勝30負。

Casey missed out on jobs with the Clippers and the Hawks last summer.

Casey去年夏天錯失了Clippers與Hawks的工作。

Like Brown and Person, Casey is in charge of the Mavericks defense under
Carlisle. The Mavericks, who will play Oklahoma City in the Western
Conference Finals, finished eighth in the league in field goal defense.

如同過去的Brown和Person，Casey現在於Carlisle的教練團負責Mavs的防守。將與OKC進
行西區決賽的Mavs，本季的防守命中率為聯盟第8名。

Bird has always liked Rick Adelman, who has reportedly been linked as a
candidate for the Lakers job. It’ll be interesting to see if Bird reaches
out to the former Houston Rockets coach.

Bird一直都喜歡Rick Adelman，他被報導為Lakers教練工作的候選人。假如Bird接觸這位
前Rockets教練的話，將會令人感到有趣。

Don’t be shocked if Bird decides to talk to somebody who isn’t on many
people’s radar. He’s done that in the past – O’Brien.

如果Bird決定和一個不在大家的雷達上的人選接洽的話，不要感到驚訝。他過去就曾這麼
做過 - 他找了JOB。

現在最新的消息是我們的教練目標有四人：Frank Vogel，Chuck Person，Mike Brown
& Dwane Casey。 後三者都是在所屬球隊負責防守為主的教練，或是以防守獲得高評價
的教練。 然而Bird這人做事情掩飾得很好，像是JOB就是個出乎眾人意料之外的選擇。
Rick Adelman也很受Bird的讚賞。

BTW，球探部門獲得留任。

星期二記者會最重要的消息，我想應該是Bird將Rush從未來的球隊藍圖排除。
他這麼說：因為明年James（Posey)和Brandon（Rush)的合約將到期，我們將擁有額外的
10M薪資空間。
我猜測隨然Simon表示可以all in，但是今年夏天不會花掉太多的薪資空間，可能簽一些
便宜的替補等級球員。明年夏天才是我們大採購的時機。
