Pistons officially hire Lawrence Frank as coach

Fanboys bitching that Frank won't get respect.

I liked this read.

What's more, Rivers leaned heavy on Frank as part of the All-Star festivities in Los Angeles, more invaluable experience for him this past season.

Maybe the writer thinks "invaluable" means "of no value?"

Solid.

The Pistons are set to hire Lawrence Frank

Finally flush with the prospect of actually getting to spend money on either a club sandwich on a scouting trip, or an actual head coach, Dumars could have broken the bank and made a showy hire. Instead, he went with the smartest guy in the room.

He had Joe at club sandwich.

[Vinny]

Let's not forget, Erik Spoelstra's supposed to be the smartest guy in the room too.

[Glenn]

Oh, he had the sandwich. LOL @ "or".

[Glenn]

The hiring don't mean a thing until we take out the trash.

But it certainly could have been worse.

Who thought posting this on ESPN.com was a good idea?

I was gonna say the same thing. Jesus Christ.

ESPN for the illiterate.

I often wonder if the Pistons could possibly make me less enthused about the team, and time and time again they answer the question with a resounding "YES!".

I guess he's an upgrade over the last couple coaches, but I think if he takes the Stones to the playoffs in 2 years, he will have plateaued and it's time to look again. 8th seed in 2 years, that's doable by Frank, right?
