I do believe that one of the things that Zeke is waiting for to announce Bill as our headcoach is the end of the WNBA season. Bill wants to finish out his contract because he is that loyal. After all, the Shocks are still part of the Pistons; and we all know how much Zeke respects that organization.

Let Herb take a shot with the new roster we have, if he fails, and no better candidates become available, Laimbeer will be an option.

Herb had his shot, and overplayed his vets, and failed to give the young players playing time. The result was a worse draft position and less development. To me, that showed bad judgment and poor character.

Why are you and others still blaming Herb for that when Isiah is on record saying that it was his decision to not play the young players because according to him they needed to earn their playing time?

Even thinking about letting Laimbeer coach this team is a freaking joke. If they actually let this idiot anywhere near this team Isiah should be taken out in a straight jacket. Who's next, Salley or Mahorn? It's pretty obvious what the criteria is for getting a Knicks job. Absolutely ridiculous.

Dude! are you serious???? Herb has never won anything throughout his career. Bill definitely has a much better resume than Herb...

You guys do know that there's a difference between coaching and playing, right? What does winning a championship as a player have to do with being a head coach?

Dennis Rodman won the same championships that Laimbeer did and then 3 more, let's get him to coach. He must be considered a great head coaching candidate since he won so many championships, at least based on your nonsensical reasoning.

Laimbeer won a championship just last season with his WNBA team.....as head coach.

Oh, he won a WNBA championship? Oh, then he must obviously be a great coach and ready for an NBA head coaching position despite not having any experience as an NBA coach in any capacity.

You were just kidding, right Monk? You and your crazy sense of humor.

dude, you're schtick is stale.

winning a title as a coach in college, winning a title as a coach in the wnba, and winning a title as a coach in the nba all mean the same thing in the coaching world - it means you CAN COACH a team to a championship. there's no difference - you still have to motivate the players, draw up the x's and o's and play against the best competition at that level.

you know what, forget it. we all waste enough posts responding to your predicatable responses.

Nope, you brought up Dennis Rodman as a coaching prospect because he won as a player. Point is, Rodman hasn't coached on any level. Laimbeer has won as a coach, just in a different league. I'm not for nor against signing Laimbeer actually. But at the end of the day Doc Rivers was a new comer to the coaching game and he's so far proven to be pretty solid. VanGundy as well. Hell, everybody who has ever coached had to have gotten their first coaching job. Herb? Laimbeer? Neither has won on this level but unless we get Brown or Saunders it won't matter anyway. All other candidates are new comers. I'm not against New comers at all. When the Bulls hired Phil Jackson he was a new comer as well. He only won as a player and as a coach for the CBA(?).

doc rivers, nate mcmillan, terry porter - all had ZERO coaching experience yet all are respectable coaches that have done decent jobs. laimbeer ACTUALLY WON a championship as a coach and this guy is still whining.

I coached a peewee basketball team to a title, can I coach the Knicks?

I'm predictable? Have you read your posts since Isiah personally poured you a glass of his Kool-Aid?

Is the pee wee team you coached professional? Are they in anyway affiliated with a major pro adult league? If so, send in your resume.

sure, send isiah an application. he's still searching for a coach.

goes to show you that i can change my mind just like everybody else. i was pretty down on this team as recent as 2 months ago but i'm a bit more optimistic now. do i think we'll make the playoffs this year? hell no. but looking at the youth that is currently on this roster right now, i can't be mad. am i fully supporting isiah? hell no (i.e. mo taylor and the malik deals) but i also can appreciate some of the things he did.

and it wasn't just the q&a - i've been privy to some other aspects to the organization which changes my outlook on our entire situation.

It was a male team. That puts me one up on Laimbeer.

Well Islefan, if you don't understand the process of how one becomes an NBA coach by now, I don't know what to tell you.

Only if that male team could beat a WNBA team.

who exactly do you propose we add to our bench as our new head coach? considering no "wnba" (notice i did'nt capitalize wnba be cause it's not a real league) coach is good enough for you.
