The main reason to "stop the revolving door" is so future coaches will see Detroit as a worthwhile place to work... so basically, Dumars should set up a future coach via back-channels first, and then cut Curry loose. I'm for Jeff Van Gundy myself, only because he's a coach who emphasizes defense, and we desperately need that. We have a worthwhile roster, I think he could do good things with it.
That's the straight dope from Keith.Quote:
William (Bay City, Mich.): The Pistons are looking at the very real possibility of dropping below .500 with a tough schedule coming up. Even with the changes this season, this team should not be losing this many games. Do you think Curry should be held on to after this season?
Langlois: Joe Dumars believes strongly in Curry, William, and is adamant that this season has been the first step in what he fully hopes will be a relatively painless transition from one era to the next. He effectively endorsed the anointing of Rodney Stuckey as the team leader with the Chauncey Billups trade, putting a lot on the shoulders of a 22-year-old point guard with a small-college background who missed one-third of his rookie season. Dumars has plenty invested in both Curry and Stuckey and he’s not going to make any rash judgments. Curry, however, is a realist. He considered both coaching and management opportunities when he retired as a player and chose coaching, fully understanding the harsh standards. He knows those standards are especially lofty in Detroit. But do I expect Curry to be back next season? At this point, 100 percent.
"relatively painless transition between eras"
yeah right
Those Bay City peeps are :cogent:
My outlook is this. For Joe Dumars not to have made a move at the deadline, it is clear he thinks this season is a wash. Until the Pistons get solid top caliber talent from another team, Joe Dumars wants a coach who can play whoever Joe wants. So, Curry's role for 2009-2010 depends on the Pistons roster after this summer. If the Pistons were to somehow get a top caliber player, would Curry stick around to coach him? Hell no. If the Pistons wait to 2010, then get ready for Mason to announce "Head Coach Michael Curry" followed by moans and groans for ANOTHER 41 home games.
Curry was hired so that the youth would get playing time.
We have whined about our youth never playing and developing for years and now when Joe D has had enough and does something about it we're pissed?
Of course Curry should be fired - he's fucking terrible.
But isn't he just the one appointed to take the fall? He must have known the next 2 seasons were gonna be painful and that the chances were great that his ass would get fired before July 1st 2010.
Joe and Mike must be the best of friends cause if a buddy of mine set me up like that I'd fucking knock him out.
Well, don't forget that's he's given you some guaranteed millions and some help on your resume as well.Quote:
