Note on Pistons continuing front-office search: Shane Battier has withdrawn from consideration for a leading front-office role in Detroit, sources tell ESPN.
makes no sense. They hire these two bozos to look for a coach? Um, that's the GM's job. Let him pick his coach. This is bizarro world. Unless we have a handshake deal with a GM already?
I am hoping they are doing prep work and the newly hired GM will have the final say on who we hire as a coach. Although with some of the names being floated for the GM duties, it might not be a bad idea to have someone else hire the coach.
I am not opposed to trying out an experimental hierarchy that varies significantly from the rest of the NBA. There is considerable room for improvement in those areas.
