Perhaps they need to try a zone or at least come up with some schemes on offense to feature Hibbert and make the Heat pay for their lineup. I have only seen the last two games in this series, but if they are any indication then it sure seems that the Pacers are being out coached by a mile.
If Hibbert was available, then I'd make a strong pitch for his services. But i am thinking that Vogel might be the one on the chopping block (despite his success during the regular season) or perhaps Indiana brings in different assistants.

Agreed. I've seen games 1,2, and 4 and each of those games Vogel was outcoached-- even the game 1 win.
I also think that we'll see only one major player gone this summer and that is Evan Turner. I see the Pacers looking for a better coach/assistants and just trying to develop the guys they have. Unfortunately they need a "counselor" coach just as much as they need an Xs and Os coach and I don't see a coach out there that can do both. Carlisle can do both. Pops can do both. Casey/Rivers can do both. None of those guys are available, though.
