Carlisle definitely got delt a Joker, however, I assume their are truths to the reports that their were significant communication problems. I first heard there was problems with upper management, and the choice was probably the owner's desicion. In contrast, I heard on Sport's Reporters this morning that there was problems between the coach and players (Hamilton, Billups, Wallace).
Regardless, Larry Brown is a good coach, he is a proven winner, but not a champion. My assesment of Carlisle's first two years with the Pistions is that he is a proven winner, but not a champion. I would have liked to see Brown go to Houston and Van Gundy too Cleavland. Now that Silas will probably get the Cavs coaching job, Van Gundy is the front runner in Houston.
