I'll post mine in a minute, it's a darkhorse.

View Full Version : Gun to your head, who coaches Pistons next yr? (merged with Kuester's firing thread) Glenn 04-20-2011, 09:24 PM Give me one name, can even be Kuester if you think that. I'll post mine in a minute, it's a darkhorse. Timone 04-20-2011, 09:38 PM Mike Brown? Glenn 04-20-2011, 10:35 PM Brown is a good guess, as is Woodson, but due to their history with Kuester, sorta have to wonder if he'll persuade them to stay away. I just got a vision tonight that it's going to end up being this guy... http://www.nba.com/media/nets/frank_head2.jpg Tahoe 04-21-2011, 01:00 AM See Sporting News thread and see who just hired an assistant. Koolaid 04-21-2011, 02:57 AM i'm confused. is this about who we want as coach or who we think will be the coach? I don't know who I want. I don't really care. Ask me when there is an actual team in place and then I'll try to guess who would mix nicely with that particular coaching style. right now it doesn't really matter because everything is shit. who will be coach? Kuester. I couldn't care less about that either. He's got as good of a shot as anyone else at managing this pile of shit he's currently got. Glenn 04-21-2011, 04:56 AM Who you think it will be. lospistones 04-21-2011, 09:05 AM I'd take Lawrence Frank. micknugget 04-21-2011, 11:22 AM Adelman. He at least knows how to run a team. Hermy 04-21-2011, 08:34 PM lamb Uncle Mxy 04-21-2011, 08:55 PM Adrian Dantley. Joe has a soft spot for him, and he has a winning record as acting NBA coach, IIRC. UxKa 04-21-2011, 11:28 PM Adelman. He at least knows how to run a team. lospistones 04-22-2011, 01:50 AM Interesting...never considered Dantley. Glenn 04-22-2011, 04:38 AM "Adelman" sounds like a "guy I want" choice more than a "guy that I think it will be" choice. Joe Asberry 04-22-2011, 06:54 AM miser (ct) chad,I think Rick Adelman would be the perfect hire for Joe D in Detroit...thoughts?? Chad Ford (1:37 PM) He's going to get a lot of looks. Lakers (if Phil's gone), Detroit, Indiana. He's so respected. I'm a bit surprised Houston pulled the plug. I look at the Rockets weak roster and I see they won 43 games in the West and I think they must have a helluva coach. John (Austin) Chad, is the Rockets job a good job? Morey seems to really be a high-maintainence GM to deal with. Chad Ford (1:38 PM) The word is that they've been in hot pursuit of Mike Brown. Makes sense if the Rockets feel like they need to start emphasizing defense. But Houston won't be the only guy after Brown. Detroit and Indiana will also be in play. Mike Brown is even worse than Q lospistones 04-22-2011, 05:26 PM I would be on suicide watch if we hired Mike Brown. Uncle Mxy 04-22-2011, 06:00 PM I would be on suicide watch if we hired Mike Brown. You would be watching the team commit suicide, yes I agree. :) Glenn 04-22-2011, 06:07 PM Yeah, Mike Brown is not a good outcome. But, but, he learned under Pop! lospistones 04-22-2011, 06:27 PM I'd stop watching. and that's not just an idle threat. I only tuned into like, 20% of the games this year, and having a monkey as a coach is FAR superior to having Mr. Potatohead. BIG BEN'S FRO 04-23-2011, 06:41 AM You guys should prepare yourselves to be called out, because unless he signs elsewhere, I am sure Mike Brown will be our top candidate.v i personally would like Adelman. Uncle Mxy 04-23-2011, 10:18 AM Unfortunately, I can't see where a top-tier coach is going to want to coach this mess of a team. Hermy 04-23-2011, 04:14 PM Yeah, people are getting a bit of an air about them here. Most likely we would just hook up with another assistant. mercury 04-24-2011, 03:37 AM HC= Adelman ... defensive coach= Woody... big man coach = Laim that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Glenn 04-26-2011, 09:24 AM Just saw that the Rockets are planning to interview Mike Woodson. Glenn 04-30-2011, 05:00 PM Rockets are interviewing: Lawrence Frank Mike Woodson Mike Brown Kevin McHale Sam Cassell Brian Shaw and probably more But hey, we have John Kuester! Koolaid 05-01-2011, 05:02 PM Rockets are interviewing: Lawrence Frank Mike Woodson Mike Brown Kevin McHale Sam Cassell Brian Shaw and probably more But hey, we have John Kuester! I like Kuester. In hindsight, I like Curry too. I just don't like this "team". Both of those guys remind me of Chuck Daly when he was with the Cavs. Fool 05-01-2011, 08:33 PM Rockets are interviewing: Lawrence Frank Mike Woodson Mike Brown Kevin McHale Sam Cassell Brian Shaw and probably more But hey, we have John Kuester! That's an AWFUL list. Also, someone needs to stop Koolaid. lospistones 05-02-2011, 04:34 AM If Doc Rivers wants to step down from coaching for a bit, wouldn't that make Lawrence Frank next in line to coach the Celtics? Timone 05-02-2011, 04:41 AM lol lospistones 05-02-2011, 05:36 AM Wut. I keep hearing about how Rivers wants to take some time off from coaching. Frank is his lead assistant with head coaching experience. I don't follow the humor trail. metr0man 05-10-2011, 05:00 PM It's going to be Mike Brown. It's exactly the sort of idiotic shit-stinking move Joe D has specialized at these last few years. lospistones 05-10-2011, 05:59 PM I will stop following the Pistons if Mike Brown is the coach. He's a worse offensive coach than Kuester, and is overrated as a defensive coach. Glenn 05-10-2011, 06:07 PM It's amazing that Gores has been able to keep the Izzo talks out of the news. lospistones 05-11-2011, 01:54 PM There have been Izzo talks? Vinny 05-11-2011, 08:54 PM First day? mercury 05-12-2011, 02:03 AM It's going to be Mike Brown. It's exactly the sort of idiotic shit-stinking move Joe D has specialized at these last few years. Dude, don't even joke about that shit... Mike Brown = Elmer Fudd with dark skin. Glenn 05-12-2011, 11:37 AM First day? http://www.gifs-paradise.com/animated_gifs/fishing/animated-gifs-fishing-24.gif Vinny 05-12-2011, 03:49 PM :confused: Glenn 05-12-2011, 03:59 PM I reeled him in. Vinny 05-12-2011, 04:27 PM Sorry, I am retard. (No offense to Bukdow...) Glenn 05-14-2011, 07:21 PM Bucher is saying "all signs point to Mike Brown being the Warriors next head coach". DrRay11 05-14-2011, 09:10 PM Sorry, I am retard. (No offense to Bukdow...) I like "retarted" in that context. Glenn 05-14-2011, 09:27 PM Can't believe that NoKluester hasn't been fired yet. Is it the ownership change or the lockout holding this up? Gotta let the new guy hire a staff, ya know? Timone 05-14-2011, 09:28 PM Guy needs to be fired. we can't even come up with a good nickname for him. Get Lawlrence Frank! mercury 05-15-2011, 03:09 AM My guess is Woody. Vinny 05-15-2011, 10:58 AM Let Abdenour coach. DrRay11 05-16-2011, 07:03 PM First order of business is everyone must not shave above their lip. Vinny 05-16-2011, 11:16 PM I'm obviously joking but I honestly do think we would have won at least as many games with him in charge the last few years. Probably 2-3 more. DrRay11 05-17-2011, 10:09 AM I was obviously not joking. Glenn 05-17-2011, 07:06 PM Well, Larry Frank was a darkhorse at the time when this thread was started, but no more. He's had his second interview with the Rockets and now GSW want to talk to him, too. Glenn 05-29-2011, 04:07 PM per people on twitter Glenn 05-29-2011, 04:37 PM Local hacks all saying that Ric jumped the gun. lospistones 05-29-2011, 06:37 PM Plz be true. Glenn 05-29-2011, 10:40 PM STEIN_LINE_HQ One candidate sure to be considered as Kuester replacement in Detroit, according to NBA coaching sources: Ex-Pistons assistant Mike Woodson Timone 05-29-2011, 10:45 PM Knew he was gay. Glenn 05-29-2011, 10:52 PM I'm trying to stir up some Izzo shit. Bored. lospistones 05-29-2011, 11:25 PM Do not want Woodson. Koolaid 05-30-2011, 03:03 AM This outta hold the fans over during the strike. It's going to be funny when the new coach has the same fucking problems though (provided the team stays intact of course). I wonder who the fans will blame now? Koolaid 05-30-2011, 03:04 AM This outta hold the fans over during the strike. It's going to be funny when the new coach has the same fucking problems though (provided the team stays intact of course). I wonder who the fans will blame this time? Uncle Mxy 05-30-2011, 08:16 AM It's going to be funny when the new coach has the same fucking problems though (provided the team stays intact of course). I wonder who the fans will blame this time? The problem is that the team needs to NOT stay intact. The ownership situation has led to intactness where none should exist. If that's true next season, blame Gores. DrRay11 05-30-2011, 09:50 AM fuck Kuester. baby back bitch piece of shit, i hump your mother, wife, and daughter and drink the beers while she shout my name Joe Asberry 05-30-2011, 10:25 AM this was long overdue, the next coach will have some head coaching experience...Curry & Kuester, it can't get any worse than this 1. Adelmann 2. Woodson Glenn 06-03-2011, 02:10 PM SI's Sam Amick lists these guys as candidates for Pistons job: Mike Woodson Mark Jackson Mike Malone Dwane Casey Lawrence Frank Joe Asberry 06-04-2011, 05:40 AM Marc Jackson, Mike Malone? seriously? another rookie headcoach after the Curry and Kuester desaster? im kinda pissed Adelman is not even a candidate, i mean he is on the market, at least talk to the guy Hermy 06-04-2011, 09:05 AM Im sure Joe offered 'bron the MLE Timone 06-05-2011, 03:21 PM Out on his keester. lospistones 06-05-2011, 04:08 PM BILL LAIMBEER OR BUST. Glenn 06-05-2011, 05:43 PM ^ bust, please. geerussell 06-05-2011, 06:51 PM ^ bust, please. Is there an empty chair poll option? Joe Asberry 06-05-2011, 07:33 PM http://www.allmystery.de/i/tlHwxMX_inrodwetrust.jpg mercury 06-05-2011, 08:02 PM Put me down for bust also... just say NO to newbs Koolaid 06-05-2011, 08:32 PM I really don't get the 'newb' hate. The only options that aren't 'newbs' are proven losers who never got that high level of success with rosters way better then this one. UxKa 06-05-2011, 09:12 PM The prob with a noob and this team if the team stays even 60% intact, is that the noob won't have the clout to change the culture and make it stick. It will have to be someone with a track record as a player, coach, or asst coach, that is strong enough to stand up to the BS that has gone on in the locker room of the Pistons for a few seasons now. Noobs won't even make it one season here without a mutiny.

Vinny 06-05-2011, 11:05 PM Sorry Glan but Laim appears to be the only real answer. Glenn 06-05-2011, 11:07 PM It's unfortunate that I've got my radar up for being baited tonight, otherwise I might have bitten on that. Vinny 06-06-2011, 12:33 AM I wasn't even baiting. My connection's so bad, I posted it without even reading your post that went right before it. I honestly think he's the type of personality that will command the respect that is needed in this situation. Fool 06-06-2011, 10:49 AM Always a new reason for Gla to predict doom for Laimbeer. Glenn 06-06-2011, 11:16 AM Always a new reason for Gla to predict doom for Laimbeer. What's the new reason? Fool 06-06-2011, 11:17 AM "The prob with a noob and this team" Glenn 06-06-2011, 11:19 AM He's inexperienced and ill-equipped to be a head coach at the NBA level. He's got a drinking problem and a toxic personality. Same old, same old. Glenn 06-06-2011, 11:23 AM Isiah Thomas Candidate for Pistons Head Coaching Job? (http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2011/06/isiah-thomas-candidate-for-pistons-head-coaching-job/) Seems like a reputable source. Glenn 06-06-2011, 11:26 AM Here's a link to the original piece. Isiah Thomas also could have a formal chat with Dumars. The former backcourt mates speak regularly, and during Thomas' last visit to The Palace, during Dennis Rodman's jersey retirement, he was in Dumars' suite. Thomas' issues have been well-documented during his time in New York, although it should be noted the Knicks were a mess well before he set foot in Madison Square Garden. Thomas does have experience in developing young players during his time as an executive in Toronto and as head coach in Indiana. While Thomas' interest level isn't known, he still feels a strong emotional bond with the team and the city of Detroit (http://www.detnews.com/article/20110606/SPORTS0102/106060358/1127/sports/Mike-Woodson-might-be-favorite-to-coach-Pistons). Detroit News (http://www.detnews.com/article/20110606/SPORTS0102/106060358/1127/sports/Mike-Woodson-might-be-favorite-to-coach-Pistons) lospistones 06-06-2011, 11:34 AM I wasn't even baiting. My connection's so bad, I posted it without even reading your post that went right before it. I honestly think he's the type of personality that will command the respect that is needed in this situation. I agree. This isn't some quiet, reserved, introverted coach. This is the loud, outspoken, emotional Bill Laimbeer. This is a guy you wanted to play with and hated to play against. I have no concerns about him getting walked on by his players, especially with a young roster. I fully expect him to whip them into shape. lospistones 06-06-2011, 11:40 AM He's inexperienced and ill-equipped to be a head coach at the NBA level. He's got a drinking problem and a toxic personality. Same old, same old. He's an abrasive alcoholic that the franchise will stand behind, though. Once Rip is moved, there are no more all-stars remaining on the team. There are no champions. There's nobody that's ever averaged 10 rebounds a game. They aren't established, and Bill has had his number retired by the Pistons. I think Bill's perfect for the job. Glenn 06-06-2011, 12:07 PM I'm thinking that Joe's not going to risk his last chance on a guy that he's passed on several times already, presumably for good reason, especially after just striking out with two other first-time coaches. I think that he, just like Isiah, gets a courtesy interview to help them get their names into the mix for other jobs and so Joe can maintain his friendships with them. If either of those two actually gets the job, I think it probably means that Gores is making that hire as opposed to Joe. IMO. Glenn 06-06-2011, 01:17 PM Terry Foster being Terry Foster. So terrible. http://detnews.com/article/20110606/OPINION03/106060397/1127/rss13 Koolaid 06-06-2011, 01:49 PM Isiah makes sense. We'd basically be using him the same way he was used in NY, or how the last two pistons coaches got screwed. Whoever's the next coach is just going to be the new fall guy for big guys not playing defense, stuck not running an offense and having too many guys who need the ball. Might as well be him. Fool 06-06-2011, 03:07 PM lol @ "presumably for good reason" Do we still extend that courtesy to Joe? Do you presume he hired Curry for good reason? Uncle Mxy 06-06-2011, 03:14 PM Isiah makes sense.

Glenn 06-06-2011, 03:22 PM lol @ "presumably for good reason" Do we still extend that courtesy to Joe? Do you presume he hired Curry for good reason?

Can I have some? Isiah is a living breathing example of the Peter Principle. After the HR incident what Anucha Whatsherbitch, I can't see him in the front office. You're not getting what I'm saying. I'm saying that the pistons are not going to succeed next year. If Isiah is truly incompetent or not is irrelevant. He is definitely an awesome fall guy, and that's what the coaching position truly is on this team right now. What would be stupid is bringing in another coach that actually has a reputation and asking him to soil it for a bunch of pussies with egos. Bring in a dude to whether the storm as the team is built. Basically the Pistons are the New York Knicks of five years ago. They had a bunch great guards who all needed the ball to do anything and a weak ass front court just like the Pistons now. They brought in Larry Brown and fucking sucked. In fact they made LB look like an incompetent jack ass just like Kuester looked this year if not worse. Why should the Pistons do that? Tahoe 06-07-2011, 01:00 AM First order of business is everyone must not shave above their lip. lollers Uncle Mxy 06-07-2011, 09:12 AM You're not getting what I'm saying.

Yeah, and if you bring Isiah for a spell, you have the Knicks of 3 years ago, which was even worse. :) Glenn 06-07-2011, 10:29 AM The Post also has learned Thomas is not expected to be a candidate for the Pistons' vacant head-coaching job, despite a report out of Detroit. (http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/knicks/isiah_grunwald_knicks_best_bet_yGCwHtrEABIpjIPp7JG BGJ) Two sources told The Post Thomas would not be considered by Pistons president Joe Dumars because Dumars does not want to jeopardize their friendship. New York Post (http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/knicks/isiah_grunwald_knicks_best_bet_yGCwHtrEABIpjIPp7JG BGJ) --------- Yeah, NY Post, I know. Glenn 06-07-2011, 10:32 AM SI's Sam Amick lists these guys as candidates for Pistons job: Mike Woodson Mark Jackson Mike Malone Dwane Casey Lawrence Frank Cross off Jackson and now, Malone. Adrian Wojnarowski: New Orleans assistant Mike Malone has agreed to join Mark Jackson's staff in Golden State as his top aide, (http://hoopshype.com/twitter_media.html) league sources tell Y! Sports. Twitter (http://hoopshype.com/twitter_media.html) Koolaid 06-07-2011, 06:28 PM Yeah, and if you bring Isiah for a spell, you have the Knicks of 3 years ago, which was even worse. :) they weren't worse. the contracts were also closer to expiring. Glenn 06-07-2011, 06:38 PM As usual, LLTP and I are pretty much on the same page. Bill Laimbeer – Laimbeer has been a favorite of Pistons fans for this job for the past two hires. I didn’t take his candidacy seriously either time, simply because he hadn’t sat on an NBA bench or been plugged in much at all since retiring as a player. He briefly served as Pistons TV analyst, but mostly he was a highly successful WNBA coach. This time around? Spending two years on Minnesota’s bench has to help. Granted, the Timberwolves have been awful, but Minnesota’s big men, Kevin Love especially, talk favorably of Laimbeer’s influence. I think Laimbeer is more long shot than a short-list guy, and whether he gets the chance to interview really comes down to Joe D’s gut feeling if he’s the right man for the job at this moment. But you have to take his candidacy seriously this time. There’s not much doubt Laimbeer would demand hard work and be intolerant of selfish behaviors. http://www.nba.com/pistons/features/truebluepistons_110607.html Glenn 06-07-2011, 06:43 PM Best part is, being a LLTP column and all, he has to hedge and say something positive about each candidate, just in case he gets hired. Joe Asberry 06-07-2011, 07:19 PM Why no Adelman Keith damnit!? Glenn 06-07-2011, 07:26 PM I get the impression that Adelman wants to stay on the West coast. IIRC, one of the reasons that he fell out of favor with Alexander is because he never officially moved to Houston, he kept his family in Portland. Glenn 06-12-2011, 08:03 AM Vecsey says Mark Jackson was Pistons #1 candidate, also says Isiah and Laimbeer not really in play. micknugget 06-12-2011, 09:03 AM Based on the record, talent, ego, and youth of this team, i really see the need for an experienced coach to at least get the team going in the right direction. Outside of Adelman, i think that Frank and Woodson are the guys. lospistones 06-12-2011, 10:22 AM Vecsey says Mark Jackson was Pistons #1 candidate, also says Isiah and Laimbeer not really in play. The only reason Zeke and Lamb wouldn't be considered is because Joe wouldn't want to jeopardize his relationship with them. Jackson has even less coaching experience than Bill FFS. I never considered that guy a legitimate candidate. lospistones 06-12-2011, 10:24 AM and in that case, I want Lawrence Frank. Joe Asberry 06-12-2011, 05:22 PM no more rookie headcoaches, thats all i am asking for BIG BEN'S FRO 06-12-2011, 11:30 PM Thoughts on Spoelstra? He will be available shortly. Uncle Mxy 06-13-2011, 07:23 AM Thoughts on Spoelstra? He will be available shortly. Bosh was his most effective option, either the pick and pop or at the low-post. Dallas' bigs were in foul trouble. And in the 4th quarter, as they were losing, Spoelstra tells his guys to "stay the course"? WTF?!? Thanks but no thanks. shags 06-13-2011, 06:54 PM Thoughts on Spoelstra? He will be available shortly. He should be #1 on Joe's list if he gets canned from Miami. I thought he did a fine job this season, but what impressed me more is the 2009-10 season when he won 47 games with Wade and a bunch of mediocre to below average players. Glenn 06-13-2011, 07:12 PM I think Spo's too green/weak in the lockeroom. I'm picturing his fired, crumpled and tear-strewn face after the Pistons diva express gets done with him. Vinny 06-13-2011, 07:41 PM I think he's hard-working and has a great head for the game, but some guys just aren't head coach material and he looks to be one of those to me. mercury 06-13-2011, 08:57 PM I think a Frank and Woody combo would be a good mix. If you had a chance to watch NBATV "team camps" b4 the season, they had a spotlight on the Nets during the Frank ERA... this guy knows strategy/countermoves... a little on the complex side... if you compliment him with a disciplinarian it could work.... two equal authorities... sounds like Gores ideology. Glenn 06-13-2011, 10:25 PM I'll take either Frank or Woodson at this point. Got a sneakin suspicion that Dwane Casey ends up being the guy. Joe = prisoner of the moment The classic safe hire. If he doesn't work out, who could blame Joe? After all, he just hired the "defensive mastermind" behind the new world champions. lospistones 06-14-2011, 08:41 AM Dwane Casey didn't really have a prayer with Minnesota when their best players were Garnett/Ricky Davis/Szczerbiak, but I'd be interested to hear what Joe sees in him. Glenn 06-16-2011, 12:39 PM Woody & Frank have had their interviews, Sampson is tomorrow. I assume that Casey will get his this weekend. lospistones 06-16-2011, 04:41 PM I hate all the candidates. Fuck. Timone 06-17-2011, 07:12 AM Looks like Casey might get the Raptors job. lospistones 06-17-2011, 09:10 AM They can ALL get jobs coaching girl's high school teams for all I care. Glenn 06-20-2011, 08:43 AM Michael Rosenberg: Pistons should pick Lawrence Frank; not sure on Bismack Biyombo (http://www.freep.com/article/20110620/COL22/106200425/Michael-Rosenberg-My-two-cents-next-Pistons-coach-draft-choice?odyssey=tab|topnews|img|Sports) Glenn 06-20-2011, 09:04 AM Lawrence Frank “blew the Pistons away” in his interview (http://www.pistonpowered.com/2011/06/lawrence-frank-blew-the-pistons-away-in-his-interview/) Glenn 06-20-2011, 02:47 PM Pistons interview Mike Woodson today, Bill Laimbeer Wednesday From The Detroit News: http://detnews.com/article/20110620/SPORTS0102/106200393/Pistons-interview-Mike-Woodson-today--Bill-Laimbeer-Wednesday#ixzz1PqMHaIE2 lospistones 06-20-2011, 10:05 PM Fuck, I'd rather promote Brian Hill from within than take on some of these goons. Glenn 06-20-2011, 10:23 PM Can't, gotta clean house. Higherwarrior 06-20-2011, 11:57 PM just read that apparently lawrence frank 'blew the pistons away' in his interview. could he be rising to the top of this coaching search? Glenn 06-21-2011, 08:34 AM Marc Stein says Casey declined to even interview for Pistons job. DrRay11 06-21-2011, 08:37 AM Rofl Uncle Mxy 06-21-2011, 10:13 AM He knows a 1-2 year job when he sees it. Higherwarrior 06-21-2011, 12:42 PM or maybe it's because he and the raptors have already closed a deal. he's their new coach. Glenn 06-21-2011, 02:26 PM Got the impression that he turned it down quite some time ago, maybe right after the Finals? Yes, it's been known for days that the Raps were going to hire him. Glenn 06-22-2011, 05:23 PM NY Daily News says Frank is "moving closer"to getting Pistons according to "league sources". Uncle Mxy 06-22-2011, 09:15 PM NY Daily News says Frank is "moving closer"to getting Pistons according to "league sources". David Hall from Rock Financial as the new Pistons coach? Glenn 06-24-2011, 04:17 PM Patrick Ewing to interview for Pistons head coaching job (http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/24/patrick-ewing-to-interview-for-pistons-head-coaching-job/) Glenn 06-24-2011, 04:18 PM "We lose a lot of games, but we play a lot of games." Timone 06-24-2011, 04:21 PM Interview this guy. http://www.apu.edu/athletics/basketball/womens/coaches/beauregardtim/ Fool 06-24-2011, 04:27 PM Ewing makes sense for a team with ZERO big men. Glenn 06-24-2011, 04:28 PM Ewing makes sense for a team with ZERO big men. STEREOTYPER!! HE'S JUST A COACH Glenn 06-24-2011, 04:29 PM Patrick Ewing to interview for Pistons head coaching job (http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/24/patrick-ewing-to-interview-for-pistons-head-coaching-job/) Pistons fans overwhelmingly want Bill Laimbeer to get the job. #goodreporting Timone 06-24-2011, 04:29 PM No one buys the Ewing talk at all. I think you're just grasping at names at this point, Glan. Fool 06-24-2011, 04:31 PM Hasn't he always been a big man coach specialist? Not that positional specialists are really a real thing in the NBA. Glenn 06-24-2011, 04:32 PM Did you read the linked article? “It’s disappointing that I haven’t moved to the next step to getting a head coaching job, but all I can do is keep working hard and keep on preparing myself for whenever that opportunity arises,” Ewing told the New York Daily News earlier this month. ”A lot of people try to pigeonhole me into just a big man’s coach and I’m just not a big man’s coach. I’m a coach.” Fool 06-24-2011, 04:33 PM Why would I read the article? Fool 06-24-2011, 04:46 PM "We lose a lot of games, but we play a lot of games." That's a real fucking quote? WTF kind of Curry shit is that? Glenn 06-24-2011, 05:01 PM That's a real fucking quote? WTF kind of Curry shit is that? Patrick Ewing money lockout or something Glenn 06-24-2011, 05:02 PM not a real quote, a joke Fool 06-24-2011, 06:17 PM When I first saw it I thought I had heard something like it before (and now that you say the lockout I recall it being about spending a lot of money and making a lot of money). But then I saw it again somewhere (forget where) and it gained legitimacy. Duped again! Damn you Gla! Glenn 06-26-2011, 09:46 PM Adrian Dantley. Joe has a soft spot for him, and he has a winning record as acting NBA coach, IIRC. Fired by Karl/Nuggets on Friday. Uncle Mxy 06-27-2011, 07:38 AM Strange situation, too: http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22748484/30269086 lospistones 06-27-2011, 12:07 PM I'd give Dantley an interview. Still wonder why nobody's reached out to Mo Cheeks? Glenn 06-29-2011, 03:50 PM Greg Kelser on WDFN: Hopefully Joe Dumars can find a long-term coaching solution (http://www.mlive.com/pistons/index.ssf/2011/06/greg_kelser_on_wdfn.html) Timone 06-29-2011, 03:52 PM Kelser for coach. Uncle Mxy 06-29-2011, 07:08 PM Assistant coach, maybe. Head coach? Hell no. Glenn 06-29-2011, 07:49 PM Ellis reporting that Woodson is in town tomorrow for a 2nd interview. Uncle Mxy 06-29-2011, 09:44 PM And Kuester, in a massive surprise to absolutely no one, is part of Mike Brown's staff. Glenn 07-12-2011, 02:34 PM Looks like Sampson is out, took an asst job under McHale in Houston. mercury 07-12-2011, 04:59 PM Rob Parker thinks Joe will be signing Woody within the next few days (radio) Glenn 07-14-2011, 08:30 AM Woodson, Frank atop Pistons' list (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/31006/woodson-frank-atop-pistons-list) lospistones 07-14-2011, 09:27 AM If Minnesota wants to go more uptempo, Frank could be an option there. I swear, if they retain Laimbeer as a top assistant to Frank, Kahn will actually have done something I would have for the first time. Glenn 07-15-2011, 08:52 AM Report: Joe Dumars wants Mike Woodson, Tom Gores wants Lawrence Frank (http://www.detroitbadboys.com/2011/7/15/2276953/joe-dumars-wants-mike-woodson-tom-gores-wants-lawrence-frank) Glenn 07-15-2011, 08:53 AM The list: NBA head coaching candidates (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/28165/the-list-nba-head-coaching-candidates) A little outdated, but still interesting. Glenn 07-19-2011, 07:00 AM Woodson arrives in Minnesota to interview with Kahn, lol. Fool 07-19-2011, 11:03 AM Either is fine for this team. Maybe Gores vetoing moves Dumars out the door. lospistones 07-19-2011, 11:30 AM Lawrence Frank and Bill Laimbeer as top assistant plz. Glenn 07-19-2011, 11:43 AM Vincent Goodwill: Minny assist GM Tony Ronzone was #Pistons exec for nine yrs...if he's seen Laimbeer everyday but no interview there, what does that say? Sounds familiar, eh Fool? Fool 07-19-2011, 11:53 AM Not really sure what you are alluding to there. Was Laimbeer an assistant coach somewhere that I'm unaware about? Glenn 07-19-2011, 11:55 AM Joe knows Bill pretty well, but hired several other first-time coaches with less fan appeal and history with the franchise. Fool 07-19-2011, 12:08 PM Yeah, those were bad moves. All of them. If that is what you are saying, I agree. Glenn 07-19-2011, 12:13 PM Oh, I do agree, but also Lamb can't get hired by those that know him best. Fool 07-19-2011, 02:41 PM Tony Ronzone was at his wedding. YGBM. I would think it a bad idea to determines coaching value based on whether Joe D and David Khan think someone is a good coach. Glenn 07-20-2011, 10:33 AM Who do you want the next Pistons Head Coach to Be? Forget them....I want Laimbeer (52%, 296 Votes) Mike Woodson (33%, 185 Votes) Lawrence Frank (15%, 89 Votes) Total Voters: 569 http://need4sheed.com/2011/07/its-down-to-two-contestants-whos-going-to-be-the-new-coach-in-detroit-woodson-or-frank.html Tahoe 07-20-2011, 08:04 PM I don't even know if we have a coach or not. I stopped following when the lockout or something happened. Glenn 07-20-2011, 09:15 PM I didn't know there were 569 Pistons fans left. 18. Glenn 07-20-2011, 09:16 PM Apparently, that gives us a 3.16% market share. Uncle Mxy 07-20-2011, 11:34 PM Apparently, that gives us a 3.16% market share. This shows that :we: matter. Our decisions here have consequences, for this team and for the world. mercury 07-21-2011, 01:55 PM After all the feet draggin we'll end up with Woody's assistant or someone like Kuester. jagrskmu 07-21-2011, 02:07 PM Why should we put a coach in now, anyway? No one to coach, right? Plus, KS, BL, and whomever Minny doesn't hire LF or MW will still be available in 6 months or so, when training camp actually, possibly, may begin. So why pay a guy a million or 2 until then? Vinny 07-21-2011, 02:13 PM Yeah! 19! Glenn 07-21-2011, 02:47 PM Good ol' Jags. Might want to let the coach buy a house, move his family, pick a school, get involved in the community, er, what the fuck am I talking about? When you get hired by Joe/Pistons, you rent month-to-month. Uncle Mxy 08-24-2011, 09:35 AM Anyone else bummed that Adelman is talking with Minny but didn't talk with us? JuliaH9 08-25-2011, 04:45 PM Hi everyone, does anyone know where to find some good outback steakhouse coupons (http://handys.pl/sm/index.php?action=profile;u=584155 ) because I'm really craving some outback steak right now haha! JuliaH9 08-25-2011, 04:48 PM Hello everyone, does anyone know where to find some nice outback steakhouse coupons (http://webserv.kmitl.ac.th/~s8015083/index.php?action=profile;u=101787 ) because I'm really craving some outback steak right now haha! Uncle Mxy 08-25-2011, 05:14 PM Are these coupons good toward a star coach? Tahoe 08-25-2011, 06:23 PM Back on topic... My guess is Lawrence Frank. Glenn 08-29-2011, 10:38 AM Woodson to the Knicks as an assistant. Uncle Mxy 08-29-2011, 11:37 AM Is it Javaris Crittenton or Gilbert Arenas that has the gun to our head? |
