PrintFrom Terry Foster: Derrick Coleman wants to return to the Pistons as a coach. Coleman, who played in the NBA from 1990-2005, would like to teach big men how to play inside, and hopes president Joe Dumars gives him a call. "It is like a lost art," he said. "There are a lot of bigs, but nobody posts anybody up. Everybody wants to stand still and hit jumpers. Tell Joe I am here. I am local. I love the game of basketball and want to get involved." Former Michigan star Terry Mills also is shopping his resume, hoping for a college job. (via Skylar in the comments)

He was a much better player than Pat Sullivan…

Coleman wants to teach big guys how to play inside?
Maybe after we hire him we could hire Shaq to teach our guards how to play on the perimeter…
Makes about as much sense.

Things more intimidating than Derrick Coleman posting up on you:
Maybe someone will hire him, but I sure hope it’s not us.

DC wasn’t much of a post-up player himself but he DID know how to do it. I wouldn’t mind having him stand in at practices maybe and help out but actually giving him a seat on the bench is a different story. On a coaching sidenote, I am not saying that Curry is NOT the coach for us because it is too early to decide that, but I will say that when we were in the market for a coach last year I wanted us to make Bill Laimbeer our guy. The guy has long-lasting ties to Detroit, is a proven winner time and time again, and is in the Detroit organization coaching the Detroit Shock to multiple championships (evening going worst to first one year).
