Pistons coach search

[Deleterious]

FWIW, Houston has received permission from Golden State to interview Kenny Atkinson for their head coaching job.

Just a massive mistake not interviewing Atkins if he is indeed taking interviews.

From JEIII's podcast:

-The organization wants to give the opportunity to a young black man.
-He believes the coach will be one of Charles Lee, Jerry Stackhouse, Kevin Ollie, or Ime Udoka.

Longstaff and Keefe and white dudes from New England.   If neither even get an interview then maybe JE3’s scoop is real.

they want to interview chris quinn from miami, he's white.

maybe the nba has a reverse rooney rule where teams have to interview one toke white coach?

If I was betting, my money would be on Lee. I've heard his name way too much and apparently he's the first candidate they're pursuing. From what little I know of him, he seems like a pretty intelligent guy who's strong in player development. No clue about his command of a locker room or coaching identity (offense, defense, etc).

I'd love to see them interview Chris Quinn as well, but who knows, Miami may have promised him Spo's job for the future. Fun fact: Quinn's career high in points (26) was against the Pistons.

Suck on it James Edwards III and your bs spicy coaching takes.  

[Betrayer]

Adding new names to the mix or did the guys on the initial list already tell us that they aren't interested so we're moving down to the B team?

[Betrayer]

From what I'm reading about Keefe he sounds like a defensive guy originally from the Popovich line. Don't know much else about him,  but I'm intrigued.

[Betrayer]

Stackhouse coming out on Twitter to refute the claims that he's very interested in the Pistons job.

[Deleterious]

So blah.

 

[Betrayer]

Imagine having prospects from the Popovich and Spoelstra tree available and hiring someone from the Casey tree.

charles lee, jarron collins, and kevin ollie.  in case you dont have an athletic subscription.

which fits jeiii's earlier proclamation about them wanting a young black coach.

I know everybody hates "retreads" but are there any out there that we should consider or should it just be some hot assistant?

yeah, but he's white.

[Betrayer]

Kinda annoyed that Chris Quinn isn't on the list, but I suppose it's possible he said, "no thanks, I'm taking over for Spo in a couple years."

[Deleterious]

I'm fine with Collins or Lee. But I don't really get the Ollie stuff.

 

[Shinzaki]

Rockets hire Udoka

[Deleterious]

Did the epic disaster from Bud tarnish Lee as a coaching candidate?

[RandyMarsh]

So is it officially down to Lee, Ollie and Collins?
