I say go for Bill. For one it would bring some excitement to this team. Second is he was a champion as a player, a champion as a coach in the WNBA, I don’t know what to say about being part of T wolves because that team is in a much larger mess than the Pistons, but who wouldn’t like to see this guy behind the bench. If not Bill, I would like to see Larry Brown come back, but who knows about the relationship between Joe D and Brown is. Brown loved being in Detroit, I’m still mad they couldn’t work it out.

I don’t love Laimbeer, but he isn’t inexperienced. Coaching WNBA may not be the same as coaching NBA. But I am sure there is an awful lot of similarity. especially “beyond the xs and os”.

i love laimbeer, but we do not need another inexperienced head coach after curry and kuester. one name not too many people talk about is maurice cheeks. he had an up and down record with portland and philly, but i think he’d be a good fit for the pistons…

Folks, we just tried two untested coaches for the position of head coach and they both bombed miserably.

I love Bill Lambier, think he will be a fine head coach, but this is the wrong team at the wrong time.

[...] TH. Henry Abbott has seen NBA players stand and wait for TNT and ESPN to come back from ads. 8th: Piston Powered. David Kahn has seen Bill Laimbeer, and he thinks he’s ready to lead a team. Uh-oh, Rambis. [...]

if lambs is not the right coach for our team, then its just as confusing why we had kuester and curry. this team needs a coach who earns enough respect to be followed and listened.

Lambs is not the right coach for our team.

and why Q would be asked to run individual workouts is beyond me. Maybe they are not bringing Stuckey back.

i say get laimbeer, then give lakers whoever they want (except monroe) to get bynum. laimbeer coaching bynum is the start of the new bad boys generation.

If Adelman gets the LA job, i’d like to see Brian Shaw take over Kuester’s position.. No way he sticks around in LA if Adelman is given what SHOULD BE his job…
