Paul George thanks former coach Frank Vogel in open letter

Frank Vogel's tenure as head coach of the Indiana Pacers came to an end on Thursday, when team president Larry Bird announced that his contract would not be renewed.

Team All-Star Paul George took to his Instagram account Saturday night to publicly thank Vogel for the impact he made on his playing career, as well as the relationship they established during their six seasons together.

The Pacers finished the 2015-16 campaign with a 45-37 record before eventually being bounced by the Toronto Raptors in seven games during the opening round of the playoffs.
