Brown is new Pistons coach
 

LINK


Looks like Brown is getting a pretty good paycheck from the Pistons. The only thing I see wrong with the whole thing is that they hired him before they even fired the old coach...geesh.

$25 million over 5 years -- That's a lot of cash...

Brown is a lousy talent evaluator who can't coach young players and has no offensive strategy. The game has passed him by and unfortunately he was allowed to stay too long in Philly. Now look what's left. Good Luck with Mr. Do The Right Thing Hypocrite Detroit .

he's going to make a good team even better.

he did it at kansas, he did it w/ the 76ers.

i wouldnt be surprised if they make the finals next yr

That's an unbelievable statement. The man wins everywhere he goes. I don't care for him, but he's a great coach. I just think what the Pistons did was shitty. They had a good young coach who did some great things with a team that nobody expected to win. I have no respect for the Pistons management.

Brown is a good coach, but Carlisle got screwed big time!!

Brown isn't going to do anything more than what Carlisle did there.

Lets put this another way.

You piss off your boss and alienate your workers. You are making the company millions of dollars though. Another manager has just become available who is known to make millions also but gets along with management and players alike. The owner puts out some feelers to the manager who is now availabe and he is interested. Who would you rather have...the manager who makes millions but cannot get along with the most important person(s) or a manager who has never had a problem getting along?

Please answer honestly because if you say the one who does not get along then you are full of shit and need to learn basic management 101.

One more thing you notice how he has not bad mouthed the Pistons and the Pistons are not bad mouthing him. There is mutual respect between Joe and Rick and Joe IS trying to help him secure another job any way he can. It is not Joe's fault that Rick and the owner did not see eye to eye.

Either way maybe next year the Pistons could get by NJ or at least win one game. Hopefully Brown will bring new ideas in, after all he took the 76s to the finals.

I expected Brown to take the Clippers job.. but the Pistons move was a total shocker.

frsit off


when was the last time brown won the nba championship

yea thanks

so yea sixate


wins every were he goes yea right

ok next part of rant

he gets along with his players

bull do you remember how long it took him to get along with ai

or for that matter reggie miller way back in the day in indiana

he is a decent coauch and a good in game coach

not great good and that is what detorit will be next year

good not great

end of rant

chillout dude.. it's a discussion about a coach, no need in getting all pissed about it.

Brown never won an NBA championship anywhere else. no reason to think he can coach the pistons to one. He shoulda taken the Rockets job.

there's a first time for everything...

How many coaches have actually won an NBA title? For that matter how many current NBA coaches have won an NBA title.

Riley, Jackson and Popavich (sp?) this is out of how many coaches in the NBA?

Name one time Brown has gone into a situation where he had a playoff club that was a couple of players from being championship caliber?

Please spare me using AI as an example. Lets see how the next couple of coaches do in Philly with him than we can compare how Brown did with him.

NBA/ABA for three decades and you mention 2 players. Primma Donnas at that. Very nice. You forgot to mention how he brought the Indy franchise from crap and made playoffs or how he molded Philly into a finals team and got Derrick Coleman to play at a higher level and remember Derrick is known to be a trouble maker everyplace he has gone.

He won an NCAA championship...maybe not the same thing but not any easier to do.

Good for him

I'm a little mad that they let go a good coach, I felt that he deserved coach of the year in this season. He did an unbelievable job getting the to Eastern Conference finals and finishing first in the Eastern division, that was a no heart, no brain to do that to him.

Philadelphia should hire him :)

I wanted JVG to go anywhere but the Rockets. I am pissed about that. It was time for Brown to leave Philly (and he has not always gotten along with his players) and I am not sure how he will do in Big D. They are a defensive monded team that suits him well. If they make it to the finals I think Darko will have more to do with it than Brown.
