The Cleveland Cavaliers made a bold move on Thursday morning by firing head coach J.B. Bickerstaff, sparking immediate speculation about who would replace him. Among the names being thrown around as potential candidates are Frank Vogel and Terry Stotts, according to reports from Sam Amico via NBACentral.
Vogel, who most recently coached the Phoenix Suns to a 49-33 record before being swept in the playoffs, is known for his defensive prowess and could bring a wealth of experience to the Cavaliers.

It remains to be seen who will ultimately take over the coaching reins for the Cavaliers, but one thing is clear – the team is committed to finding the right fit to lead them forward. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
