Erik Spoelstra on Pacers letting go Vogel: 'It's disturbing'

When made aware that the Indiana Pacers hadn't renewed Frank Vogel's contract on Thursday afternoon, Spoelstra was bothered by seeing yet another member of the coaching brotherhood shown the door.

"I think it's really disturbing, actually," Spoelstra said at Miami's shootaround. "I've only been a head coach for eight years. So what am I, the second-longest-tenured? That's a sad state of where the coaching profession is right now and stability of organizations."

Spoelstra also answered to Larry Bird, who said that after three years a coach has no longer a voice inside the locker room: 'Teams' roster change every two-three years. So my voice is new to virtually everybody in this locker room. Only Wade and Haslem have been with me since the start, that's it".
