The next month or so is going to be a very exciting time for Detroit Pistons fans. Between the draft, free agency and possible trade scenarios, we'll have our interest piqued and our hopes high. But my attention has shifted to the coaching staff.
After hearing the unfortunate post-season news that Puppet Boy (also known as Coach Curry) will be staying, my dreams of having a competent head coach next season faded. But there is hope yet.
It was reported today that the Detroit Piston Assistant Coach Dave Cowens would no longer be on the staff. Instead, he will become a member of Joe D's scouting team.
Is it me, or does this strike you as coincidental? Bill Laimbeer announces he's an NBA coaching free agent just days ago - and BAM - we have an opening.
I know this wasn't Joe's plan a week ago, otherwise it would've all happened at once. However, there is no doubt in my mind that Laimbeer's goal in life is to be the head coach of the Detroit Pistons.
What a cunning move that would turn out to be...
Maybe it's just wishful thinking.
What do you think?
