Well, you're counting on the fact that Dumars would re-nig (sp?) on his vow to never hire a coach without previous NBA head coaching experience, considering he got hired as gm with no prior NBA GM'ing experience.

Larry was through here. He lost the team.

Flip on the other hand, never had the team...

Which is precisely why I never wanted him hired in the first place. I could deal with the fact that LB was gone, but at least look around before bringing in a proven choker to replace him.

Name me please, who were available besides flip? And did they want this job?

Fans treat all those hirings and trades as they are available on demand. They are not, low

Was he fired? Or did he quit...

I think they did look around. Nobody was out there. They wanted Nate M. I think.

I was one of the people who thought Flip would do OK. I was wrong. I admitted that long ago. I think most people here agree he not only sucks, but he seems like a jerk too.

I really think it's time to give Lambs or Izzo a chance. Personally, I really liked RC, but no chance we see him.

If Detroit exits in round one, Detroit has an excuse to fire him. No need to explain their actions.

I say give Laimbs a few years with a revamped roster.

If I recall correctly, Nate got hired a week or two before Flip.

We do not know whether McMillan wanted job here, though.

Yeah, I was saying Flip wasn't the first choice.

True...
