Will Isiah Thomas be the next coach of the Detroit Pistons? Or perhaps Bill Laimbeer?
Sources told ESPN The Magazine yesterday that Thomas and Laimbeer, who were teammates in Detroit for 12-plus seasons, are among the candidates to replace John Kuester, who was fired Sunday after two seasons.
Not mentioned in the article is that former Detroit Shock coach Bill Laimbeer is currently an assistant with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

I would hope that Bill Laimbeer is the next coach over Zeke
He’s proven himself to be a good head coach after coaching in the WNBA for a number of years not to mention three rings, and I appreciate his honesty in regards to the fact that he wanted to be an NBA head coach when he left. I don’t know if the NBA devalues WNBA coaching experience despite marketing the league (if not over-marketing according to some), or if it’s because Laimbeer’s tough play in the ’80’s has still given front office guys (many who were players in his period) hard feelings that have lasted through now…..
