NBA Rumors Have Pistons Interviewing Last String of Candidates for Coaching Gig
The Detroit Pistons, in search of their next head coach after the firing of John Kuester, have already interviewed Boston Celtics assistant coach Lawrence Frank and Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach Kelvin Sampson.
Today, they interview former Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson and on Wednesday they'll interview former Pistons great Bill Laimbeer.
After interviewing Laimbeer, it's possible the Pistons could hire their next head coach by the end of this week.
The two candidates most likely to be hired appear to be Frank and Woodson.

Wrote Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun, "word out of Detroit is Frank 'blew the Pistons away'" in his interview on Wednesday.
As for Woodson, his ability to turn around the Hawks in the 2007-2008, 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 seasons has many tabbing him the front-runner.
Woodson's interview today could be the last straw. If he does well, he may be the next Pistons coach.
The Pistons, of course, are in dire need of repairs. They haven't reached 40 wins in each of the last three seasons and they finished an embarrassing 30-52 last season.
Beyond that, there was a minor players' revolt against coach Kuester. The team also needs to begin a youth movement, with their veterans declining due to age.
Woodson may have the pedigree to build them back up.
