Laimbeer has had a fine basketball career in the NBA, overcome physical
deficits (can't run fast, couldn't jump well etcc) but he became a joint
force in this league. Yet his first year joining the Pistons he elevated
their interest and in the short years after made them sternly
competitive along with little big man Isaiah Thomas. Bill could rebound
and trigger outlet passes, played excellent position defense, and had a
more than adequate jump shot to go along with a boastering bellowing
never say die/quit attitude. He won two titles with the Pistons as a
player and after retiring won two more championships with Detroit's own
womens basketball team the Shock. But the true SHOCK is why hasn't
Davison and Dumars given Billy the opportunity to coach the talent
infected Pistons today? This current Piston roster for the last three or
four seasons shouldn't have been denied access to at least the NBA
finals those years in a row, especially considering how weak the East
cast of players and teams have been during the same period.

replied, yeah when you learn shoot cause your rep' for D has been
exploited! ON RECORD again, just as I was for Saunders, we won't win
an NBA championship with Curry holding the whip!

Bill Laimbeer has no experience on an NBA sideline. Michael Curry at least
has coaching experience and respect of the NBA players (as is evident by his
term as president of the NBA Players Association). Either one is a gamble
but Curry is less of one. Your whole knock against Curry is that he wasn't a
good enough player to be a good coach? A whole lot of great coaches weren't
great players.

Also, where is it stated that Laimbeer is insulted? You must be off your
meds again.

And by the way, paragraphs. For the love of god please use paragraphs.

Ya' don't have to resign from a Shock job to coach in the NBA. Isaiah
tried to lure Bill to NY when he was under contract and felt it could
have easily been done.

The WNBA is a nice league but obviously the coaches use the light simply
to get into the NBA when a job is available. And I"m sure no owner
would seek to hold em' back! If worst came to worst the NBA team would
simply buy out the sought after coaches contract, what do they make in
the WNBA anyway, 10,000 dollars a year?

I said is he so insulted he resigned? Same owner. Why work for someone that
insults you when he would obviously (to you) be snatched up by a NBA team.

Zeke never actually offered the job to him. Just made noises and that was 3
years ago. Knicks changed coaches a couple of times since.
He was also considered when they hired Flip instead. Guess Joe decided it
was not a mistake to leave him with the Shock...

>And I"m sure no owner

Why not? The nba is usually hiring coaches in the middle of the wnba season,
why would an owner want to throw away a season by letting his head coach/GM
walk? Why would Laimbeer do that to the owner?

>If worst came to worst the NBA team would

No they can not. They can not even talk to them unless the team's owner
gives permission.
You are making up the rules and contracts now too.

what do they make in
>the WNBA anyway, 10,000 dollars a year?

Likely a lot more than his players...they have to go to russia to make

Davidson and Dumars could make it happen if they wanted to....the
question is why not?

Bill's got way more credentials, rings, wins and respect than Curry.

How the hell did Curry get this job when players like Mark Aguire, Herb
Williams, Patrick Ewing, etc.. have been assistants for years, they
never got the call and they shouldn't have. If Curry was worthy then he
should have put a bug in Saudners ear and been part of the demise the
team experienced this season... Ya'll don't hear me!!!

Laimbeer has less NBA coaching experience than Curry. He would even have
more on the job training. Coaching women doesn't count.

Laimbeer's coaching experience with women is iffy. The Shock didn't
become consistent until the arrival of Mahorn who is the one that
actually works with the players. Mahorn is more deserving than
Laimbeer.

It's not against women but coaching in the WNBA is so much different than
coaching men. I just meant it doesn't really count as NBA coaching
experience.

Except, if you were guaranteed to be a WNBA coach for life, would you
risk it for the year or two that you'd have an NBA team still at its
peak (not to mention that they'd also have to spend time adjusting to
you), only to have the team fall apart at the end leaving the coach
vulnerable to being swept out-- especially if they couldn't get the
ring that time?

If #40 can get the job he wants, he should look for something with
long term coaching prospects. Right now, that's WNBA.

I was joking that the Shock brawl made it to NPR.

Look at this guy!

His dad's a winner in business.

Bill has few attributes which profile him as being physically capable of
playing in the driveway let alone the nba but he overcame and did it.
And did it successfully!

He won two NBA championship titles.

In a short career in the WNBA without a superstar he won two more
championship titles. Some here say that doesn't count, BULLSHIT!
It's basketball which is a simple science.
He was a jump shot away from a third title this season.

This guy and his whole family are about winning! He leaves it all on
the court, few players or coaches could ever say that!

Sure that is why NCAA coaches do great in the NBA...

You don't give a championship caliaber team to a mediocre coach, hell
he's not even a mediocre coach, he's not a coach yet!

If we could put anyone at the helm then why did we fire Carlisle and
bring in BROWN?

We needed experience reportedly to win it all.

We will not get that from Curry because he doesn't possess it.

Laimbeer should have been the obvious choice, the only choice.

Nope you said they have to have coached a NBA team to the champoinship.
You still have not said who they should have hired instead of Flip that fits
your own criteria..
It is a simple question. Name who should have been hired that was available
and that had coached to a NBA championship.


A: Rudy Tomjanovich had 2 rings a decade before then the next 8 years made
the conference finals once and the lottery 4 times.
Current resume... 'lasted half a season' with the recent champion lakers and
had a melt down and quit... claimed 'health reasons'.


B: 69 year old Lenny Wilkins whose last trip to the finals was 1979 Sonics,
only other even 'division' first place finish in 25 years and last trip to a
CF was 1992 Cavs.
Current resume... lost 1st round 2002 , worst team in league with 24 wins
2003 and fired... hired mid season knicks swept first round 2004 and fired
after 39 games 17-22 in 2005.


So which available championship winning coach would you have hired? A or B?

The Pistons has recently won a championship when Sauders came in. Had
been back to the NBA finals as well. Now here comes a coach who's never

himself had never been. "


Remember that? Which coach that had won a NBA championship did you want?

I am not a pistons fan and 29 teams will not get a championship, even
coaches that have 9 NBA titles fail.
Boston certainly should have fired Doc and hired Laimbeer with all his
rings...they might have beat Jackson!

Daly and Brown had different situations.
The current roster they coached were on the foot step of winning a
title.

When Saunders came the current roster had just won a recent title and he
had not!
The main need for a coach who'd won as either a player or a coach was
that he'd be able to look Rasheed , Ben, and others in the eyes and
stand equal to them. Saunders held no such credentials and when he
sought that the team utilize a zone defense more often than nought when
it was aggressive man to man which got them the title it was a wrap.
Flip didn't know what the hell he was doing and was exposed.
Thus he lost their respect and should have been tossed after the first
season or not hired at all. I told you, we wouldn't win with him and we
didn't. Told you he'd be fired and he was.
THere was no need to postpone the event for three years.

While you claimed only 'Sheed before the fact... it was Ben that jumped the
shark...while the departing Larry Brown impressed the shit out of the knicks

Rudy T was available. 2 rings as a coach. Just took over a team with 3
recent championships...and lasted half a season...

Detroit had the nba's 1st or 2nd best defense during the Flip years.

Safe bet...just like it is safe to bet aganst any team...none are odds on to
win.

All the Coaches that have not been fired in the last 2 decades. Sloan.
Average is 2 years.
3 years 3 trips to the conference finals = sucessful job.

You predicted the firing constantly and named time frames and were wrong
over and over...about like vescey predicting trades get one out of 50 rumors
right and then gloat...

> THere was no need to postpone the event for three years.

Obviously there was... for one thing likely the owner did not want to be

Yeah, he was supposed to be gone at the All-Star break, two years in a
row!

Bullshit! Tell me again how many NBA championships Chuck Daly won as
either a player or coach before he became the Pistons' head coach.

Chuck Daly's situation was entirely different from Saunders.

The team had not won a thing before Daily got there. As a coach he was
equal to the players.

Saunders came in just after Billups and company had won the title. He
couldn't lead
a team like that because he'd won nothing himself.

I see why you stick with stats you have no common sense..

That you change your own criteria so you do not have to answer the question
is indeed infantile...

You insisted in previous postings that the coach (new or past) of the
Pistons HAD to have won an NBA championship in order to be an
effective, winning coach. Don't make me repost your numerous posts
where you said that. So clearly, it is YOU who can't even read your
own writings.

You're stupid accept that.

At no time did I say a coach of the Pistons in the past had to come in
with a ring.

The coach of concern was Flip who couldn't retain the respect of SHeed,
Ben or Billups because they'd just won a title, Saunders had not! Plus
Flip wanted to focus on a zone defense which was opposite the tough man
to man defense the team had beat LA. with. So Flip discredited himself
right off the bat.
He never gained those guys respect again.
Sheed's antics of sitting on the scorers table etc....

Winning a championship as a player is no qualification for a coach. Ask
Magic Johnson or Zeke...

So which available championship coach should they have hired that was
available:
Rudy T of Lenny Wilkins?

It should have been Bill Laimbeer, that's a no brainer.

What the hell could old ass Lenny Wilkins have done with Detroit, Or
Rudy T?

Billy is already familiar with the not only the franchise, but the
personal, the fans, the GM, the owner, etc... And he'd won two NBA rings
and won a WNBA ring with the Shock.
Hell he comes from a winning family, his dad made more money that Bill
did as a player.
Winning is in Bill genes! He'd have built a dynasty. Look at how many
times he's been to the championship finals with the lowly Shock!

Curry don't know diddly! This will be another wasted three years
without a title. Billups will have retired, Lindsey will be a scout,
Sheed will embarrass himself on a lowly Knick team for a season before
he vanishes, Ben Wallace will stand on Memphis claiming he told everyone
so, then head be home in the south. And Joe Dumars will be fired right
after Davidson's death by Tom Wilson!!!

So Dumars has no brain...? Why do you not predict his being fired?

>What the hell could old ass Lenny Wilkins have done with Detroit, Or

They are nba championship coaches...the only ones avaialble...that was your
criteria as a must... before you changed it to fit Laimbeer...WNBA
indeed....

Referee Earl Strom sent $100 when fined $50 for 'promoting a player'
after telling a reporter " I have just seen the greatest player alive" (Dr.
J.)
Strom sent along a note saying: "The first fifty dollars is for the fine
and the second fifty dollars is because I'm tellin' ya' he is the
greatest."

I didn't change any format to fit Laimbeer, he was the one I had in mind
the entire time.

He'd won two championships in the league, he'd won as a coach in the
women's leagure.

He held two rings where Sheed , Ben and Billups had only one. He could
have informed them on what it took to win TWO back to back!
Flip couldn't offer how to even win one.

This entire thing could have been wrapped up some time ago if you'd
listen. Skip's proven himself an idiot an not able to comprehend simple
things, don't join him.
