Frank Vogel: Los Angeles Lakers Command Excellence
Not for the first time this season, Lakers coach Frank Vogel says he doesn’t feel his job is at risk.
Frank Vogel found himself answering those familiar questions before Los Angeles lost 111 – 104 to the Indiana Pacers.
He came into the game with a little breathing room, with the Lakers having comprehensively beaten the Utah Jazz on Monday.
However, the weekend’s 37 point defeat to the Denver Nuggets was their third straight at the time.Â

“I don’t feel like I’m under siege,” Vogel said.
“It’s not hard to do my job; I’m very focused on the task at hand. I’ve always been that way.
“It’s really not up to me whether it’s fair or not,” he said. “It comes with the territory, comes with being the Lakers coach. We have high expectations. This fan base really cares. It’s a big market, and I wouldn’t want it any other way, to be honest with you. I want people to care, I want people to want the best and to command excellence out of our group. That’s what we command of ourselves; that’s just the way it is.”

“Everyone is working together to leave no stone unturned in terms of getting this thing going in the right direction,” he said. “And we all have a great working relationship where we’re trying to figure out things together. We won a championship this way, and I feel good about our process.
“In this business, and with this team, if you’re not winning at a super high level, you’re going to get this type of noise,” he said. “I’m good at blocking that out. I feel good about the job that we’re doing.”
