Comments on: Doug Collins, Joe Dumars candidates to replace Curry? http://www.pistonpowered.com/2009/06/doug-collins-joe-dumars-candidates-to-replace-curry/ Your Go-To Source For Pistons Coverage Sat, 25 May 2013 15:39:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Dan Feldman http://www.pistonpowered.com/2009/06/doug-collins-joe-dumars-candidates-to-replace-curry/comment-page-1/#comment-1021 Dan Feldman Sun, 05 Jul 2009 06:03:43 +0000 http://www.pistonpowered.com/2009/06/doug-collins-joe-dumars-candidates-to-replace-curry/#comment-1021 At this point, an experienced coach makes more sense for Detroit. That's not Laimbeer. And Laimbeer didn't make many friends around the league during his playing days. That probably won't hurt him with Dumars. But he played against plenty of guys who are in front offices now. I doubt they're anxious to help him out. At this point, an experienced coach makes more sense for Detroit. That’s not Laimbeer.

People who don't know him except for his Bad Boy days love him but others who have met him or have had business contacts with him have had problems. Unfortunately in the NBA it is important to have good political attributes. This is why Lambeer may never get a good coaching job in the NBA. However I am not saying he couldn't be a good coach. I am surprised however that the Pistons would hire Doug Collins after he was let go by the organization during the Grant Hill days. He has good coaching experience and has had some success but always seemed to get replaced by the whim of the star player (i.e. Michael Jordan, Grant Hill).

When a team does bad its always the coach to blame, so why go to the GM now? Dumars isn't a Millen he makes smart decisions and knows what he's doing. So why is Foster saying a man who has taken us to countless Eastern Conference champion games a bad GM because he has nothing to write on for the Pistons!!! lol Terry Foster is a moron.

If they never hired Curry - a first year coach, they might consider laimbeer more seriously. But i watch the news and they asked Joe D if he's talked to Laimbeer and he said he has talked to him twice after curry was fired and had a smile like he was holding something back. Joe D did say that they were considering Laimbeer. So i dont know why all these "Sources" continue to say he's not being considered.

I keep hearing ESPN people and the like saying things like "it will never happen." Does the Detroit organization just not like him or something? I don't get it.
