Nice split between...

"My goal is to win a title" - Phil, Pops

"My goal is to score points and have fun" - D'Antoni, Nelson

"I can't remember any coach's name other than my own and I can't / won't vote for him" - everybody else

If all of the Piston players surveyed would have voted for Flip, he would have 3.3% of the vote.

Ben too

I wonder who KG voted for...

I absolutely love these player polls. They represent the pinnacle of self-interest and a herd mentality.

Sure, y'all notice Flip missing.......Where's LB and Cola.

Doesn't herd mentality show up when each participant can see the other participants doing something? In this case, it would see to be the opposite. They all give their own opinion. Also, they get nothing out of it, so self-interest would not be served.

The PTI guys asked Phil Jackson today who was the best team in the NBA and he said .....Detroit? Despite their recent 3 game slide. He made a comment about the organization showing renewed interest in playing their youth.....He also said the New Orleans was probably the best team in the east? So bottom line is we don't know what his was smoking today, but if it was good and he shares it his players, then no wonder everyone wants to play for him.

Yea, I heard that also. I've gotta start watching better shows........Just kidding, I like both "PTI" and "Around the Horn". He did win the coach of the year once....so he must be ok.

He's probably hoping he doesn't see us in the first round.

Phil sat out that year after losing to LB and was embarrassed by the 4-1 ouster in the finals after assuming that it would be a sweep. However he did realize that the Pistons had something going there and may been critical of LB while praising the Pistons in his book.

I am sure he would have considered taking over the Pistons reins if he had been offerred the gig and probably would have had Darko actually playin in the 05-06 season. However that darn Kevin McHale ruined that scenario by firing Flip mid season and there he was waiting in the wings ready to lose more conference finals. We could have even had Nate McMillan instead of Flip "I only recognize/play vets" Saunders.
