Pistons coach search

[Betrayer]

Not seeing a lot of Chris Quinn love in these coaching interviews. Wondering if he told everyone to bugger off because he's going to get the Heat job eventually. That would at least make me feel better about us not having him in the mix.

spo is not an old man.  i wonder if there is some succession plan whereby he moves up to the front office at some point?  if not, quinn would probably be wise to cash in.

That would make sense. Because the lead assistant for one of the best coaches in the league should be getting a lot of interviews. And you almost never hear his name mentioned.

i'll take him.

At this point of what we hope the Pistons will become and understanding how the NBA coaching culture is these days, do we expect the next coach to be the coach that guides them deep into the playoffs?  Or is this next hire a development coach first, and then reevaluate everything in two seasons?

we'll still end up with kevin ollie.  😞

I'm a bit underwhelmed by all the candidates, including Monty, but you do have to give him an interview if he's interested.

Weaver listed, "discipline, development, and defense" as his requirements for the next coach and I just don't see the "discipline" aspect from Monty. He's very much in the Casey mold of a player's coach. I'm also not in love with his strategic X's and O's after watching him choke in the playoffs and leave obvious weaknesses unexploited (Jokic's PnR defense) in route to another really bad playoff exit.

Still though, he's certainly a better candidate than Kevin Ollie, so you gotta give him a call.

Before I was just underwhelmed, but now I'm disappointed. Quinn is available for interviews but no news that Detroit even tried.

[Deleterious]

I would feel better if we heard the Pistons approached Quinn and he declined.  Same with Atkinson.

Right now it appears two top tier candidates were never even considered.

[Deleterious]

And as a fan that has endured the past ten years. I fully expect them to get the 5th pick then name Mark Jackson the new coach.

So JEIII was right?  theyre only considering black coaches?

What makes Quinn a better candidate than Chris Lee for example?  The Spoelstra influence I suppose but both are young, up and coming assistants on championship caliber clubs.

Also, we all know why he didn't get interviewed.

Excluding candidates based on race is so....1963

Losing in 7 games in the ECSF is preferrable to what we have been doing.

Casey should have been fired and rehired and fired again 18 times compared to what these guys are getting fired for.

It's kinda a double edged sword coaching for a contending team, yeah it's cool to be competing for a championship and having good players to coach but if you don't win the whole thing you very well could be screwed.

Atleast when you take over a team like the Pistons you know you're probably getting atleast a few years of security and if you do end up actually winning you can basically name your own price when it comes to getting a raise. 

[Deleterious]

Doc is another guy that baffles me he keeps getting jobs.

Spo coaching tree is a big selling point for me. Also, Heat culture. They've been worse than every team they've played, but damnit, they're just going to play harder and smarter than you are. Bring me some of that in Detroit.
