“The thing about Jason that kept me to have an open mind immediately is that the lead assistant role on my staff, I’ve always tried to fill with a former player, a former respected player that has coaching experience dating back to Brian Shaw first, initially, and then onto Nate McMillan, and then Corliss Williamson on my coaching staff in Orlando,” Vogel said.
Nate McMillan Rumors
Mark Montieth: Nate McMillan has a rep as a taskmaster, so he especially appreciates Malcolm Brogdon’s serious desire to play for the Pacers. “Normally I have guys who are OK with me after they leave,” he said, laughing. “I’ve had few that wanted to come and play for me.”
J. Michael Falgoust: McMillan says he’s not been told anything on when Oladipo will be ready #Pacers
Scott Agness: Nate McMillan confirms the belief was that Goga would be gone in the lottery. “When we saw him fall to us, that room back there was going crazy.” Adds that he’s ready to play now.
Scott Agness: Pacers coach Nate McMillan is one of five finalists for the PBWA’s Rudy Tomjanovich Award, recognizing a coach for excellence with media and fans. Other finalists: Kenny Atkinson, Mike D’Antoni, Michael Malone, Doc Rivers.
J. Michael Falgoust: McMillan: “We were 29th in attempts in 3pt FGs. I would like to see us play faster, get more attempts. I think that’s due to being a better rebounding team and being consistent w/your tempo. We slowed down and became a team that played late in the shot clock a lot.” #Pacers
