I heard on the radio today…
hopefully he can land as an assistant for us (and eventually coach
)
I think Laimbeer will be a good coach… if some organization can get over their life long grudge against him… from when he played.
from Chuck Daly last year (reference
Sacramento Bee)
Quote:
On why former Pistons center and current Detroit Shock coach Bill Laimbeer can't land an NBA head coaching job: "I think it must be because Billy made a lot of enemies when he was a player. But I tell you what. He is as smart as a whip. Someone is going to get darn lucky in this league. They just have to take a chance. I talked to the Maloofs about him when they were looking for a coach (last year), and they would have talked to him. But Geoff (Petrie) wasn't interested."
