A good article on Laimbeer

Why in the world do we not hear any comments whatsoever about this possibility from the Piston's organization? Does Dumars think he is not ready, but can't admit it publicly because it will look like he is dissing his former teammate? Is he waiting until the time is right? Are there personal issues? Does he simply have no intention of ever hiring Lambs? I just want this to be a topic of conversation. Is the local press even asking these questions? What's up with the silent treatment??????

And on second thought, it seems lately that every time the Pistons fire a coach it's because they have someone else waiting in the wings to pick right up. (RC Cola for LB, LB for the Dolphster) And in the short time during the shuffle, they are obviously not going to comment on another poterntial coach because they already know who they are hiring. I think it would be interesting to take a leap of faith and see who we get. (Of course, that can end up with Bill D and fans looking like this guy

"I’m a championship coach,” Laimbeer said. “I win, I demand, I hold people accountable. My job is to say what everybody else is thinking but is afraid to say. Some people don’t like that. That’s too bad.”

Its entertaining, insightful and it really highlights Laimbeers strength as a coach. Curious timing. And coming from new york...

man after I read that article, Laimbeer needs to coach the Pistons. Hell, Bill for President!

Thank you ladies and gentlemen! Darth will be in Vegas at Fizgerald's pub opening for the piano guy next Tuesday and Wednesday. No cover. But don't forget the tip jar. gooooood night

It was very insightful and well-written article. But there's more talk in the NBA about Laimbs being passed for a coaching position. I wonder if someone else could steal him, or maybe Billy D. promised him coaching job with Pistons a couple of years from now?

Low, I don't know if that is the reason, or any other reasons, but they just won't give him the opportunity.

That's kind of what I was thinking about. He probably would've been good with the younger team, maybe like Bulls or Portland.

And Laimbeer love fest just gets hotter by a minute:

It couldn't really. I mean the players are good enough to get into playoffs and probably make it out of round 1 with any coach. The risk is not that high. But, on the other hand to avoid this risk, why not bring Laimbs in as an assistant, especially since Porter may leave for a headcoaching job?
