Can the Pistons fire Kuester already?



I am sick and tired of this guy. I hate how he treats our players and his coaching stinks. I thought this year the Pistons would be some sleeper team and probably make a run towards a playoff spot but it is the just same old pistons from last year. When this whole skipping shootaround thing or player protest as some call it came about, I was happy. I took this as a message to the Dumars and the rest of the organization that Kuester is no good. Now tell me, would any coach consider benching a valuable veteran in Richard Hamilton for 30 some games with no playing time whatsoever? Yeah Rip is playing now, but do you seriously think him and Kuester are like boys now? Rip is struggling right now thanks to his no playing time. Now, Tracy McGrady should not be benched. It doesn't matter if he was a part of the player protest thing. Look at Rip, he was a part of it and is playing. I do not get why Tmac isn't playing. Simply put, fire Kuester!! We as Pistons are tired of him and his actions toward the players. I am been a Pistons fan for a very long time, and not once have I been pissed off over a coach.

 

What do you guys think about Kuester??

Man, That's Flipper! C'mon!

It’s like when you’re at the restaurant and the “catch of the day” is Mahi Mahi. I ask the server, “you’re serving Flipper?”

That was a pretty decent sized shark that did that…probably 8-10 footer judging from the bite.

I would guess that it wasn’t one shark that got that dolphin. It might have been a group of them making a kill (blue sharks are known to travel together) or just scavenging. Bottlenose dolphins are very difficult prey.

Hey, Mike...

When you’re ready to come out, I’ll be there for you. You just can’t get your mind off Ramon, can’t you?

But Neither Can Hill, Apparently

He’s supposed to be a defensive guru, and what are we, like 45th in the league in defensive FG%?

Roomer has it that Kuester has a 3rd year on his deal, via KL’s twitter.

Team option, no?
Another league source said the contract was for two seasons with a team option for a third year.

I heard it was a coaches option

This team is not worthy of my fanhood.

Kuester will decide whether or not to stay in the same way he decides on our lineups

Based entirely on who is practicing the best. As such, Brian Hill will be named coach of the Detroit Pistons and Kuester will move to Video Coordinator.

I honestly don't know what's true

I asked via Twitter, and Pistons Web Guru responded to me, pointing me to a tweet from KL. I’m going to assume that’s correct, I guess…

To answer the original poster's question "Can the Pistons fire Kuester already?"

A more difficult question to answer when you delve into the context of the question itself. One asks, “can they fire Kuester” where “they” is the Pistons and the answer is most assuredly yes. The Pistons are fully capable of firing John Kuester, if by “Pistons” you mean ownership or management. However, as recent exploration into historical context has made more apparent, “The Pistons” capability to fire a coach may not necessarily be restricted to ownership and/or management, but may also include the “players” themselves. But this is only half the question.

Can the pistons (as previously defined as either ownership, management, or sometimes the players) fire Kuester ALREADY? Already is clearly the operative word and the answer to this full question is a resounding no. The Pistons, regardless of definition, have not already fired John Kuester. Therefore they are NOT capable of having already fired him as he is still on the team. This of course assumes that none of the previously defined Pistons have access to a time machine and/or a greater understanding of the space-time continuum than the rest of humanity resulting in some paradoxical parallel world where Kuester has already been fired and therefore the Pistons are/were fully capable of firing him already.

You're wrong!

Let me introduce to you the “quantum firing Kuester experiment”.

Unlike the Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment which used poison gas and a radioactive decay trigger, this version involves a GM in a cage, ready to fire Kuester and a device that measures the spin value of photons. Every 10 seconds, the spin value of a fresh photon is measured. Conditioned upon that quantum bit, the GM is released, firing Kuester, or it makes an audible “click” and the GM remains in the cage.

The theories are distinctive from the point of view of Kuester only; their predictions are otherwise identical.

The probability of Kuester not being fired at the first iteration of the experiment is 50%, under both interpretations, as given by the squared norm of the wavefunction. At the start of the second iteration, if the Copenhagen interpretation is true, the wavefunction has already collapsed, so if Kuester ist already fired, there’s a 0% chance of him not being fired. However, if the many-worlds interpretation is true, a superposition of the not fired Kuester necessarily exists, regardless of how many iterations or how improbable the outcome. Barring rehiring after firing, it is not possible for Kuester to experience having been fireded, thus the only possible experience is one of having kept the GM in the cage every iteration.

Therefore, Kuester will never be fired, and the Pistons are not able to do so. Ever.

Quantum suicide

There was some interesting show about that during the “TV-Shows” in Alan Wake.
