Pistons Coach Search

[Pugz]

mcmillan and cheeks have both had 3 interviews, shaw is still a candidate, and hopefully hollins will be now too.

 

[RipCity32]

Yay.

 

[.infamous]

I think cheeks could be a good coach.

 

[Pugz]

shaw is supposedly holding out for the clipper job

 

[RipCity32]

Wonder what the point of brining in Jackson was, when Dumars just ends up with his guy. Typical Dumars.

 

[RipCity32]

Hoping for the best though. Certainly not who I wanted us to land, with all these proven guys out here. Hopefully he surprises us.

 

[Teagz]

So when we go 25-57 again and Cheeks is gone after one year, does Dumars finally get the boot?

 

[Pugz]

fucking mo cheeks?!

 

[Teagz]

did we sign mo cheeks or something?

Nah, he just the "strong frontrunner"

 

[Pugz]

well we better keep looking since more coaches hit the market.

 

[RipCity32]

I guess we are offering him a contract tonight.

 

[Pugz]

fuck my ass. i do not like this. even if he actually does well, i dont like this. hes not our coach for the future.

 

[RipCity32]

Nope. Shaw or McMillan would've been great.

 

[Teagz]

I don't understand why Dumars just doesn't listen to Phil. Your last 3 hires have been complete failures, it's time to take a little advice for once.

 

[Pugz]

frank wasnt his hire but youre still right.

Maurice Cheeks – the Pistons’ presumptive next coach – is incredibly likable, a class act, a true gentleman. He was an NBA champion as a player, a four-time All-Star. He has more head-coaching experience than 75 percent of current coaches.

He’s also proven himself as a mediocre coach.

On the surface, this is painfully obvious. He hasn’t had a winning season in his last six years as a coach. He’s never won a playoff series. His last team, the 76ers, was better both the season before his arrival and the rest of the year after his mid-season firing than it was in any season with him.

A deeper examination is even more troubling.
