Pistons Players Questioning Lawrence Frank

[.infamous]

The Detroit Pistons are off to a horrendous start to the 2012/13 season, with a 3-10 record tied with Toronto for second-worst in the NBA behind only the winless Washington Wizards. The organization has insisted that head coach Lawrence Frank's job is not in question. However, some of Detroit's players have begun questioning his methods and rotations in the media.
Veteran forward Tayshaun Prince told Vincent Goodwill of the Detroit News that he disagreed with Frank's decision to sub out all five players at once during a loss to the Magic:
"If I was Coach, I would've made a decision sooner than he did," Prince said. "A 6-0 run, call a timeout. Bam-bam, we come back out, nothing happens, bam (make a substitution). If you gotta make a choice, you have to make a choice. (He) went too long."
Guard Will Bynum has also expressed his displeasure with Frank's rotations, telling Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press that it's been difficult for him to find a place in the many lineups Frank has been juggling:
"I'm having to adjust to everybody. I'm playing with so many different people. First I go from not playing with [Rodney] Stuckey to playing with Stuckey every day. I go from playing with Kyle [Singler] all the time to never playing with Kyle. I'm playing with Tayshaun [Prince]. Early on I was playing with Brandon [Knight] and I never played with him in two years since I've been here. It's all over the place right now."
The Pistons front office reportedly views this season as a rebuilding year and thus isn't prone to letting Frank go. However, this will be an interesting story to keep an eye on if the Pistons' struggles continue.

i supported him and still do but our roster is not coach friendly and his rotations are HORRIBLE. we cant fire another coach though. he needs to play out his contract and then we look for a replacement. we don't have a roster thatll pull in a good, top level coach, so idk what our plans would be.

id still rather see dumars go.

Too bad Bill Laimbeer is coaching a bunch of ladies.

hes not back in the wnba, is he? he wasnt even interested when we last needed a coach so i doubt he'd want this now.

Yea, he returned to the WNBA this year with the New York Liberty. This is from wikipedia and not my following of the WNBA in any way lol.

Dumars got pretty lucky with the team he built back then. Prince at 21 was lucky. No one knew Billups would turn into the player he did. Ben Wallace was basically a filler in a the Hill trade. And he got Rasheed Wallace for literally nothing.
