The Goods Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Pistons coach Michael Curry needs to work on his relationship with star guard Richard Hamilton. "As far as the relationship being strained, it was a difficult season," Curry said. The coach admitted that Hamilton was upset over a variety of things last season. "Was Rip very upset that he had to come off the bench? He was very, very upset," Curry said. "He was upset that he had to split time with (Allen) Iverson. He was upset that Iverson was here and Chauncey (Billups) wasn't. Rip was upset with a lot of things this year, but I don't put much stock into what that means with our relationship." According to sources, what upset Hamilton the most was Curry's decision to start Iverson over him without privately telling him first. "I'm not going to get into that," Curry said. "However it was done, it wasn't going to be right or good for Rip because, at that time, he didn't want to come off the bench. He wasn't happy about that. I understand that." http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60160/20090629/curry_needs_to_fix_relationship_with_rip/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuckey3 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 We need a new coach. Curry just doesn't know what he's doing here. Plain and simple. You can't have a coach who used to be a teammate to current players. They're not going to look up to you as a coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 That was a tough situation for Curry to be in, deciding who to put on the bench between Rip and Iverson. If it was my decision I would have put Iverson on the bench in a second... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
