Pistons fire Michael Curry

[elcheato]

Saw it on ESPN

 

[MapleLeaf]

over/under 3 pages?

 

[The Young One]

I'm going under. This isnt no shocker to me.

 

[MapleLeaf]

yeah but they might spend 2 pages on who they should get as a head coach

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Over, easily.

You guys are pretty cool. If you have a problem with us discussing why don't you do us all a favor and stay out of the thread.

Anyways, I wouldn't doubt it there is dancing in the street in Detroit. Best news out of Detroit this off-season lol. Dumars must have someone in mind already because he said Curry would stay.

And as long as it isn't Laimbeer I'm ok with it. Though I wouldn't mind him as an assistant cause we are missing one since Dave Cowans left for a front office job. But Laimbeer has never coached men and I don't want another rookie coach.

 

[sheed]

Thank you Lord. Now we just have to see who he brings in :unsure:

 

[RipCity32]

I really don't know why everyone is praising Laimbeer right now. Maybe if he got some Assistant Coach experience first. He would be just like Curry, throwing a rookie head coach into a tough situation.

And yes, he coached in the WNBA very well. But that is way different. And he hasn't even coached a man in his life.

Agreed, and I'd like to see us sign JVG. But what makes me wonder, Dumars must have something huge in mind cause I just didn't see this coming(just yet anyways).

 

[Rios15]

Why wont anyone take Sam Mitchell? The best coach ever. He yells at his players lol.

Laimbeer is miles ahead of Curry, but yea I'd like to see him be an assistant first.

JVG might have the most annoying voice in the world, but I'd like him.

 

[Pugz]

JVG, Avery, Mitchell, Laimbeer, that's the order of coaches I'd like to see.

Rip where did Cowens go?

 

[MapleLeaf]

lol @ Avery

 

[RipCity32]

I believe to scout for Dumars. So he is still with us.

And I agree with your order.

The Detroit Pistons fired Michael Curry as head coach on Tuesday.

Doug Collins is believed to be a leading candidate for the job, according to a source.

Collins coached Joe Dumars with the Pistons from 1995-97, and has been out of coaching since the Washington Wizards fired him in 2003.

Via Yahoo!

Collins wouldn't be bad either. He's actually the best IMO.

 

[RipCity32]

Why is he the best?

 

[RipCity32]

Marc Stein just talked on ESPN. Said the Pistons are going to sign a veteran coach most likely, to make Detroit more attractive to play in. And that Doug Collins and Avery Johnson are in the lead for the job right now. And that Dumars wouldn't have done this without knowing he could get someone in here quickly. So he said we should have another coach very soon.

 

[MapleLeaf]

you better hope it's Doug Collins

 

[RipCity32]

Collins has like a .390 winning percentage in the playoffs.
Players would want to play for Avery more I'd assume.

Collins coached Jordan in the mid 80's, made the playoffs, but never won a title. Jackson came in and they did. My dad said Collins wasn't that great in Detroit either.

But anything is better than Curry lol.
