Report: Lindsey Hunter to seek permission to interview with Detroit

[Folster]

I saw this on Hoopshype:

Matt Dery: Source: Lindsey Hunter has asked #Suns for permission to interview for #Pistons HC vacancy. It will likely be granted soon. Twitter

The writing is on the wall. He's as good as gone.

What a loss...

AP (Detroit): Source: Pistons fans have asked permission to be put out of their misery if Lindsey Hunter is hired by the franchise. It will likely be granted soon.

Tragic stuff.

This is hilarious. Detroit saw something they liked in Hunter's coaching?

Maybe that head coaching interview can turn into an assistant's job with Detroit.

Wait, let me guess, he's going to talk about how he stresses defense and accountability.

Are they counting on him bringing Igor Kokoskov with him?

I just filed this under 'S,' for 'Serendipity'

Are they counting on him bringing Igor Kokoskov with him?

Actually, the word I got from Europe is that the Pistons are in love with Zeljko Obradovic (Legendary Serbian/ Yugoslavian coach) so if they hire him, it would make sense to bring Igor along with Hunter to be assistants. If I remember correctly, igor was an assistant in Detroid when Hunter played there.
In all fairness, I haven't been following Euro rumors as closely as I used to, so I don't know how reliable the Obradovic thing is.

Personally, I'd like to let Igor run the show in Phoenix.
