Who the knows. I'd like to think he'd get their defense back to the level it was at in years past, but I have no idea what a Popovich offense would look like without Tim Duncan.
With all the bull going on in MoTown, do you think the Pistons would be winning the series against the Heat if Pop was the coach instead of Flipper Saunders?

I'd like to see him cuss out Rasheed Wallace just for the of it.
pop is doing a better job then larry brown did with the spurs
so why not
First, has anyone put specific credence to "all the bull " going on in Detroit? There's rumors flying here and there but it's not clear whether they are losing because there are problems, or whether there are problems because they are losing.
If you accept that there's stuff going on, then no I don't think Pop would be any better at getting it (i.e., Rasheed) under control than Flip. Pop's strength is that he picks and coaches players to prevent it from happening in the first place.
You know who would rule under that kind of chaos? Phil Jackson.
Well, from listening to a lot of the Pistons fans, Flip tries too hard to be buddies with the guys, and they have gotten to where they pay little attention to him.
There are even rumors that they are deliberatly playing this way (which I really doubt) in order to get him fired.
I personally think the real problem in Detroit is they got to believing all the press clippings about their greatness, when in fact a lot of their greatness came from play weak EC teams.
They also fell in love with the 3 pt shot, which suddenly isn't there very often for them.
And, IMO again, any team that has Rasheed Wallace on it, is taking a chance on being torn apart from within.
Dayum. Zen in Motown? Are you nuts? Ain't no way in Barry Gordy, err Rasheed Wallace, would allow that to happen.!! lol
I bet Phil would find a way with Rasheed. Scratch that, I know he would. And I know exactly how:
Would Phil Jackson and Joe Dumars get along?
I would say Ben Wallace in LA (Lakers) would be awesome.
I wish we would trade Pop to Detroit, but he would probably bench Ben Wallace, so they would hate Pop in Detroit.
BTW, I returned your PM.

No, AJ would outcoached him in finals!
Oh lawd...get off the AJ kick. If AJ didn't have Joe Prunty running things you'd be saying, "Oh Pop, you're the greatest".
For the umpteenth time, AJ DIDN'T OUT COACH POP.
Dayum do I need to run the dayum coaching lineage tree again for the seeing impaired?
how many assist coaches does aj have compared to pop's
AJ had the most important one against us…a former assistant coach/video coordinator who had been with Pop's coaching staff since 1996.
But to answer your question, AJ has three...just like Pop.
You're taking away their war cry!For the umpteenth time, AJ DIDN'T OUT COACH POP.

Bahahaa.
Sorry but that's laughable. Joe Prunty isn't the reason that the Mavs are doing anything. Give AJ his due.
And AJ has 5 assistant coaches and so does Pop.
Mavs - Prunty, Harris, Blackman, Riley and Parker.
Spurs - PJ, Bud, Brown, Newman and Engelland.
no. pop would probably play mo evans at center and play lindsey hunter at power forward.
Not saying AJ didn't do a good job but in this case because Prunty knows the Spurs offensive and defensive schemes, especially since he had to construct plays to combat againt Dallas and Phoenix during video break down, that gave AJ a sizeable edge. If Prunty's knowledge of the Spurs wasn't there, I don't think the Spurs have nearly the problems they did match up wise.
I'm not counting the other two; strictly the assistants that you see huddle up in time out and who sit next to him/AJ in the game.
Prunty was an advanced scout for his last three years with the Spurs. Meaning he wasn't even with the team, he was on the road scouting. He didn't have anything to do with the plays in San Antonio. He was out scouting the teams they were going to play. He wasn't even in San Antonio for like 9 months out of the year.
humm I thought aj had like 19 assistant coaches
it seemed like it.
