    This is absolutely pathetic.

    Every single one of those players should feel embarrassed and ashamed of what they're doing to their coach. They could not give two sh1ts about winning, they just want to get their coach fired. If I were the GM, I would suspend each for 5 games if the allegations prove true.

    Absolutely pathetic.

    Sounds like this is something right up Tracy's alley. Me vs the Organization/Coach/City/World/etc...

    inmates are running the asylum in the NBA


    It's simple, if you don't like your job, quit.

    He looks like yet another ugly brother of Ron Howard.

    I don't care how bad the coach is, you do your job as a player. That's called professionalism.

    What's baffling is how Kuester is a head coach while Elston Turner can't get an offer. Kuester must have a Joe Dumars sex tape or something.

    I never liked the saying "inmates running the asylum" in reference to pro sports.

    Like it or not, the players are not "inmates," they are professional employees who have individual rights like you and me. Every employee of every company has a right to behave as they want as free citizens, with the caveat that they will suffer the professional and financial consequences of their behavior.

    If you have a problem with a player's behavior, fine, but then say "he is violating the terms of his contract and acting unprofessionally."

    Looks like Wallace made him laugh, even though it looked like he was basically forced to laugh, lol.

    regardless of who the coach is or whether they like him or not, players are not above the coach and the organization. that being said, keuster is a pretty bad coach but the pistons have been a terrible organization since they traded away billups.

    The phrase is a simple way of saying employees of the organization are running the organization. It's appropriate in this instance.
