Hell, he's still hot.

Point taken however. Let me be perfectly clear.

Maybe that is why he can coach the Shock. Somehow I don't think that would translate to the Pistons, but who knows. LOL

The Finals run was too dang short. Two years, 1 title. Too short.

Big Ben has only been gone 1 year and they haven't won since Darko got the boot. Seems a more app. reason to me. LOL

Have the Pistons won a championship since they let Darvin Ham go? Maybe he is the key.

What about Tremain Fowlkes? He was putting up Will Blalock-type numbers in 2004. You can't expect to continue a championship run without replacing that production...

I didn't know that TF was in such exclusive company.

Fowlkes was one of three players (the others being Britton Johnsen and Marcus Haislip) signed to pro-rated one-year contracts in the immediate aftermath of the incident at The Palace of Auburn Hills on November 19, 2004, which devastated the Pacers' already banged-up lineup with the suspensions of their three best players, Ron Artest, Jermaine O'Neal and Stephen Jackson.

Do to the volitility of BBeen fans here at this site I will refrain from entering this debate.

I know how Ben can get ticked off sometimes though. In simple pick up games (2 on 2 or 3 on 3) every few games the ball won't come to me a lot. Sometimes you will get angry. As for Ben it happened to him ALL the time. It sounds like he's a baby, but he's just human. Ben got the first play call from LB and it worked great. All it took was 1 play call. ONE. It was not like that one play call was a bad one either. Maybe that's what a coach should do with Ben even if Ben would want it or not. It's that one play call that could get that player a little more satisfied, which would make him more effective on the court overall because he isn't moping around.
