Perhaps he finds a team he wants to coach?

He's Jim O'Brien with a playing career. Stuck in the mud franchise that's years from doing anything, he can come in and teach guys how to work and approach being a professional basketball player. You want anything more you better find someone else.
Which is to say the Wizards need to hire him.
Yeah, wizards would also be a good fit. Kings too. I disagree with you a bit though.. I don't know if Skiles is a championship type of coach, but I think that he would do well on a contender. He really hasn't had that type of opportunity yet. Also, I think that with the Bulls he showed that he can work with a young team that is in rebuild mode. He gave a young Bulls team an identity and they became a playoff team.
Now I'm not saying he's the greatest coach or whatever, but in my opinion, he has not dissapointed as a coach in the past decade. His teams have sometimes underperformed, but a look at the rosters would explain that also. He did a great job with most rosters he had. He wouldn't be a good fit for every type of roster of course, but the Pistons, as they have two young bigs who can learn to cause a lot of defensive problems for teams in the future, would be nice.

I knew he didn't like having Monta taking so many shots.

Skiles' little dictator act gets very tired very quickly. This is the same way he was run out of Chicago.
Forget coaching, he should have been appointed Stern's successor.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Scott Skiles have mutually agreed to part ways after his four-plus seasons as head coach, General Manager John Hammond announced today. Assistant Jim Boylan will assume head coaching duties for the remainder of the season.

Good college starter
Re: BREAKING NEWS: Scott Skiles out as Bucks head coach
Was looking forward to Bucks actually being around that 5~6 seed. Now, not so sure...

Skiles is NOT a good coach.

That was never going to happen. Impossible.
The best they can do is 8th, and they will do it if Boylan plays:
BJ
Monta
Mbah Moute
Ilyasova
Sanders
Dunleavy
Udrih
Udoh
Daniels
Bench warm Dalembert and Henson (he can wait)
Skiles screwed the lineups constantly
One of Henson/Udoh has to play and the other sit, unless a trade is made to get rid of a power forward. Gooden can get a min either.

Don't know why Skiles wouldn't roll with that lineup. It has everything except low post scoring. Two high scoring ball dominant wings and 3 guys that don't need the ball to score.
