Is Bill Laimbeer a candidate to replace Michael Curry as Pistons coach?

Laimbeer, the former Pistons player who rose to prominence in the organization during the Bad Boys era, resigned as coach of the WNBA's Detroit Shock on June 16. Laimbeer has for years expressed a desire to be an NBA coach.

When he was contacted by The Detroit News on Tuesday and asked about Curry's firing, Laimbeer said, "It's the first I've heard of it. Really, they fired him?"

Laimbeer was asked if he had been contacted by the Pistons about the head coaching position."I've been out pursuing different things," he said. As for his reaction to Curry's firing, Laimbeer said, "I don't have any feelings about it."

I don't want to see his style of play in the NBA today. If Dumars wants to go back to hurting opposing players then he should be replaced.

If they had him in the 1st place they would have done alot better this year the team did not like Curry, now they have may did the same 2 Laimbeer but I don't think so Bill is a proven winner.The bottom line Iverson and Rip Hamilton should have started and Rodney Stuckey should have come off the bench.

Jim Anderson the Pistons suck? You must be a Clippers fan. Becuase only a Clippers fan would be blinded when they say greatness. Yes the Pistons had a bad year. But in the majority of the past 20 years they have always had a great club. So Jim Anderson I think you suck. Golden Knee Pads
