Rob Parker said the Pistons will not be going for an old timer and want a young coach who can relate to the players. In other words, they want another coach that the players can take advantage of... ugh. Considering none of the old timers are being mentioned as candidates, Parker is probably right. Its a shame though that the Pistons are conducting their search based on age and not skill. That isnt a good sign, Adelman is my first choice, but I think we can all forget him.

He still seems to relate well to the modern NBA players. He was well-liked in Houston. He's not Larry Brown, stuck in 1973.</p> And to add onto that, I don’t think Adelman’s age is a huge factor.

And I'd even build on that and include Austin Daye and Rodney Stuckey as potential beneficiaries of Adelman's offense as well. Adelman succeeded in Sacramento b/c of fantastic high post passing bigs in Webber and Divac. He had a 6-11 shooting guard/SF in Stojakovic who had a beautiful shot but could do little else really well, similar to Daye's skillset. And he won with Bibby, a non-traditional point guard. I think he'd be a really good fit for the personnel. I don't think he'd turn the PIstons into an immediate contender or anything, but with an addition or two, Adelman could get the Pistons into the playoffs relatively quickly.</p> Ben basically took the words out of my mouth.
