Pistons Will Hire John Kuester

That's the only thing anyone can say because there is no way to deny or prove it. The evidence to date does not indicate Joe did a deep search hiring either Curry or Kuester. Why has Kuester been an assistant for nearly 15 years if he was so much in demand? I am not knocking the guy, I just feel the hiring process has sucked the last two coaches.

It has..

Rick Carlisle was an assistant for his career in the NBA before Joe gave him the opportunity.

Meet John Kuester, the new Detroit Piston head coach - Full-Court Press

Totally agree. It's not like he's new to coaching. Remember last year when most people were excited on the Curry hiring? Haha, so maybe this time that everyone is pissed it will work out..

I'm not totally thrilled on this move, but I'm not upset. Avery was not worth it for the money and time he wanted. Other than that who is there really? Van Gundy...after that it's just other assistant coaches and of course Bill Liambeer. The Cleveland fans seemed super upset about this, so we'll see how it works out. I know it will be better then Curry by a mile. I'm really looking forward to this season.

Any moves that fans like and/or make sense have no correlation to the "right" moves, haha.

Remember the last four years how everyone wanted the core to breakup? Core is broken up. Time to start a new era...am I the only excited one? Lol

Hammond was here when Curry was hired.

Who hired John Hammond? Oh thats right Joe Dumars.

Who had the guts to fire a multiple 50 win coach and bring in LB to get us a championship? JD

Who got Sheed?

Noone wins it every year. Considering just 2 years ago we were in the conference finals, I would say we are rebuilding the team very fast.

Do all of you want the Oliver Miller/Terry Mills days back?

Be patient, let the man do his job. Are all his moves perfect? Hello no, But he fixes problems before they become big problems.

The Cavaliers averaged 101.2ppg and scored over 100 3 times versus the Magic. There opponents PPG for 09 was 89 ppg during the regular season but against Orlando it was 103.7.

So against the Magic, there Offense went up, but there D fell apart.

This is crap. Sorry John but don't really know ya'. I would have rather had Avery Johnson and if that, as it did, did not work out then its about high time that we pass the keys to Laimbeer.

2 year deal..w/option

I never saw AJ as actually coming to coach. There is something truly unlikeable about AJ. This coach has plenty of experience. This is not Curry x2.

He's gotta bring Beer in.
And not jerk with the guys minutes.

No lol

Yes. j/k

edited to add;

This move could be great, or it could be terrible, but after Curry i'm not jumping on the bandwagon prematurely.

First impression; he doesn't look very intimidating.

The pic is the answer.



We need him to replace Fabio?

Let's get Danny Granger. ;)

That guy used to kill us on the boards, even when we had Ben. I like Jeff Foster.
