This just in. Bill Laimbeer has resigned as coach of the Detroit Shock. His reason for resignation? He says he could no longer coach in the WNBA, knowing that his heart was on coaching in the NBA. Attention Joe Dumars, your next coach is in your face, check the pedigree: 2 campionships as a player with the Detroit Pistons, 3 championships in five years as the Shocks head coach. After taking over in 2002 after the Shock posted the worst record in WNBA history, Bill Laimbeer took them from last place to the last standing. He has a tough, defensive mentally, so you better bring your lunch pail and be ready to work cause that's how he did it as a player and he expects nothing less from his players. I think comparing Bill to Micheal Curry is a no contest. Ask yourself this, has Michael Curry ever been to any big dance? High school, College, Pros? Does he know what it takes to get there? How many times did the team enter the fourth quarter with a substantial lead only to give it back completely before he called a timeout or made a substitution? If your happy with any of the following answers then maybe Curry is your guy. Me personally I'd rather have a guy that can tell players what they need to focus on to be a winner and you need to have some sort of hardware to get their attention. I'm not saying that you can't win with a coach who hasn't been to the mountain top, but it sure would help. I don't know how much time there is to decide either, there are reports that the T-Wolves are showing interest, it would be ashame for a franchise leading rebounder with so much to teach young players, taught them somewhere else.
