I dunno about this one...Is this a sign that Dumars is looking at the
up coming season as a re-tooling type of season? Even though he has
said that he wants to stay in title contention and doesn't believe in
scrapping a team...

Maybe I'm just doubting Curry's abilities but you can't blame me...
Maybe the team will respect him more? I would rather had Porter or
maybe even Cowens. I hope this works out.

Some re-tooling is almost manditory, I think. A little tinkerning and still
staying in contention is not out of the realm of possibilities.

As for Mr. Curry. I get the feeling he is the coach you hire to fire when
the guy you really want is available. Just a feeling.

First, Bill Laimbeer should feel insulted. He has proven himself a
winner at every level including coaching. The job should have been
offered him first! Fans know it, why doesn't Joe?

Second, Michael Curry is a part of this losing season already! He has
no credentials to coach. Had little respect from the teamates that he
won the championship with in 04 and now is being asked to lead
them....NO!

Face it, Dumars signing Curry for three seasons is another commitment to
not winning a title for the same length of time.
I told you you wouldn't win with Flip and this is the same thing being
that Curry can't enter in any new blood!

This is a seasoned team! You don't administer a rookie coach with them.
The window on this team is beginning to close it requires a winning
coach, a man of discipline and strong personality. Collins or Laimbeer
are the only two options available that fit the bill.

Because Joe is most certainly smarter than you and most of the fans.
I've not heard Laimbeer campaign for the job. Don't you think if he
wanted to be the Pistons' head coach, he might actually seek it out
when it became available?

And you don't have our respect nor do you have any credentials. Many
of the best head NBA coaches started as assistants and many have done
very well in there first year. Give Michael Curry a chance before you
throw him under the bus.

Somebody else mentioned this...not in the NBA. I'm surprised you missed
this one. If Curry had coached in the WNBA and Laimbeer had no coaching
you'd no doubt be bitching about Curry's lack of NBA experience. You wanted
anybody but Flip, now quit bitching. You got what you wanted.

The same thing can be said for 29 other head coaches. Nice BOLD prediction.

NBA coach is not in his resume...

How do you know he was not?
Maybe he prefered his current job...short season better view...players that
do not argue and he would not be tempted to hit... ;-)
