Kuester's plan: Former Cavs assistant and new Pistons head coach John Kuester said he'll be taking some of the Cavs philosophy with him to Detroit. In Vegas to work with the Pistons summer league team, Kuester said his relationship with Pistons General Manager Joe Dumars was a major reason he was able to get the job and how he hopes to work with his boss the way Brown and Cavs General Manager Danny Ferry work together.
"This is a joint effort, and seeing how Mike and Danny work together was pretty neat during my two years in Cleveland," Kuester said. "Having a relationship with Joe is a huge plus."
Kuester received a three-year, $6 million contract and the promise from Dumars that he'll be given plenty of time and patience while the team goes through a transition process as they turn over the roster.
"I'm very appreciative of what the Cavs family did for me. We had great players and were committed to what was best for the team," Kuester said. "You have the confidence, and what has to happen is for someone to believe in what you are about. I was fortunate that Joe knew me and had seen me work."
They copied the shit out of the Pistons and now, this?
Circle of Life and all that shit GD.

Erm, WTF does R.I.F mean?

It's almost as effective as "No Child Left Behind", which has effectively dumbed down the education levels in some areas even more than before.

Lest Pistons fans think the 2008-09 season damaged their team’s reputation leaguewide, consider this: Kuester will soon officially add ex-New Jersey assistant Brian Hill, with a long resume as an NBA head coach, to his staff. Here’s what one of the sharpest journalists who follows the NBA, Dave D’Alessandro of the Newark Star-Ledger, said about Hill’s decision to leave the Nets for the Pistons.
“But the best part of the move, of course, is that the Pistons are a flagship franchise that doesn’t stay down for long – not as long as Joe Dumars is running the operation.”
And then he quotes Hill: “Talking to Joe, you can tell they’re as committed as ever to winning and putting another championship team on the floor.”
That’s what you hear pretty consistently around the league – the Pistons are regarded as a flagship franchise. Sometimes fans focus so thoroughly on their team they lose sight of the bigger picture as to their franchise’s place in the pecking order. The Pistons remain one of the handful of franchises that coaches, scouts and front-office types look to as the model for doing business.
