They fired Rick Carlisle and replaced him with Larry Brown. Brown is a great coach but you don't fire a guy that just took you to the East finals when you weren't suppose to be in the playoffs when the season started.

I hope Carlisle gets back with a team and burns them in the playoffs.

That is a slap in the face. Carlisle actually took this team farther than they should of based on their limited talent.......wayyyy overrated! And Brown's an idiot for taking that job....

Carlisle is a good coach but made some questionable decisions vs. NJ. He will resurface somewhere, anyway. Also, If you have a chance to get Brown, you go for it. Joe Dumars is no idiot.

Yeah and IF Brown goes to Houston , with TWO cornerstones in place then what?

Carlisle did alot for Detroit...If they don`t land Brown Dumars won`t look so smart..Maybe Isiah will come home...

Won't happen Jman, not as long as Bill D is the owner. Isiah betrayed Davidson and the big man will never forget it.

I don`t think it will either, but it would be pretty cool...Indiana is his home too...

Dicky what do you think about Carlisle ?

I thought Carlisle deserved coach of the year honors with what he did with that team this year..he had no scoring threat and yet he won the East..Long Beach Larry gets the second pick in this years draft and rids himself of Iverson..Both guys can coach..Carlisle will have his pick of jobs since there are so many available..The inner circle of coaches gets recycled again..The NBA needs new coaching blood..

Jim Carrey will now star in 'The Rick Carlisle Movie'.



Just a little makeup, and he can portray him..

I talked to my buddy today he told Me Carlisle had numerous run ins with the wrong people. He told me Carlisle's people skills resembled that of the counter girl at your local McDonalds. Also was told Ricky got a kick out of humiliating his younger players.

My favorite Tiger?? #23 Kirk Gibson. Growing up it was Mickey Stanley, who a few years I got to sit down and have a beer and shoot the shit with him, lots of fun

The guy was the true utility man, infield, outfield, DH. He now is a successful business man in Detroit and makes real money. Usually when you meet childhood idols your disapointed not the case with Mickey an all around great guy.
