    The result was the teams ninth different starting combination: George,Hansbrough, Hibbert, Augustin and Green.

    But, Hill and Stephenson returned for the win at Houston, and thecombination of George, Hansbrough, Hibbert, Hill and Stephensonmade its fifth appearance in six games.

    Only one of the five different starting lineups from last season has madean appearance in 2012-13, but that one consisting of Paul George,David West, Roy Hibbert, Lance Stephenson and George Hill has beenthe most commonly used one in 2012-13 with 55 appearances.

    PACERS' GAME NOTES

    Head Coach Frank VogelOverall Record: 109-69 Record with Indiana: 109-69Playoff record: 7-9 Playoff record with Indiana: 7-9Seasons in NBA: 3rd Seasons wi th Indiana: 3rd

    Frank Vogel was named head coach of the Pacers, J uly 6, 2011, after serving as head coach the last 38 games of the 2010-11 season. He is currentlsecond-youngest head coach in the National Basketball Association at the age of 38, a result of perseverance, hard work and dedication to the sport.

    Vogel took over for J im OBrien, J an. 30, 2011, and guided the Pacers to a 20-18 record and their first playoff berth in four seasons. In the first round o

    Eastern Conference Playoffs against the Chicago Bulls, who had the NBAs best regular season record, the Pacers lost the best-seven series, 4-1, buPacers left their mark in the highly-competitive series.I watched the Pacers last year and was very impressed with how hard they played, how they competed and how they were prepared, said Pa

    President of Basketball Donnie Walsh, who took over for Larry Bird J une 27. Thats a credit to Frank and the coaching staff of Brian Shaw, Dan Burke andBoylen, which Frank assembled. He has a very positive attitude that is refreshing in todays game.

    Im very grateful to (team owner) Herb Simon and Larry Bird (who hired Vogel after the interim season) for giving me this opportunity, said Vogel, who the NBAs Coach of the Month for April last season when the Pacers compiled a 12-3 record. This is a challenge I embrace and look forward to. Our teamast two years finished strong with a positive playoff showing and its something we all can definitely build on. Weve taken huge steps as a team, as a francand they were big steps, but were not satisfied with that by any stretch.

    Vogel, who is entering his 16th NBA season (eight as an assistant coach), got his start in the NBA as the head video coordinator with the Boston Ceunder Rick Pitino. He served in that role from 1997-2001 before becoming an assistant coach with the Celtics under OBrien, following OBrien as an assistaPhiladelphia and in 2007 with the Pacers. Vogel spent two seasons as an advance scout for the Los Angeles Lakers (2005-06) and Washington Wizards (207).

    Vogel is a graduate of the University of Kentucky with a degree in biology and became the Wildcats video coordinator after graduation. He attended J uCollege in Huntington, Pa., where he was a three-year starter for the Division III Eagles. He then transferred to Kentucky, became a student manager and plon the junior varsity team in 1996. While at J uniata, he made a decision that changed his life. An admirer of Pitino, who was the coach at Kentucky, Fwanted to learn about coaching from Pitino. He made numerous requests to get to Kentucky as a walk-on, a student manager, anything. He finally got throu

    im O'Brien, as assistant to Pitino, who saw to it that Frank became a student manager, even though the Wildcats preferred in-state students for that job.Frank was also a member of the junior varsity that year and his work ethic landed him the job as Kentucky's video coordinator after graduation. Pitin

    Kentucky for the head coach's position with the Boston Celtics and took Frank with him as the head video coordinator. He had that role until Pitino leftO'Brien became the head coach of the Celtics, naming Frank as an assistant.

    As a youth, Vogel attended basketball camps and encountered an instructor who taught him if he believed in something and put his mind to it, he caccomplish anything. The instructor used spinning a basketball on his finger as an example and then spun it on a toothbrush. Frank practiced and practicedsame trick until he, too, accomplished it and brushed his teeth with the toothbrush while spinning the basketball on the end of it. That skill earned him, as ayear-old, a national television appearance on "Late Night With David Letterman" in the Stupid Human Tricks segment. It was forbearer of the perseverance has made Frank one of the rising young stars in coaching.

    Frank and his wife, J enifer, have two daughters, Alexa and Arianna. An avid Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles fan, his hobbies include spending timehis children, golf, movies and backyard barbeques.
