    Former Detroit Pistons center Bill Laimbeer interviewed for the Pistons' coaching vacancy Wednesday, according to NBA coaching sources.

    Laimbeer is the fourth known candidate to be interviewed, but his chances of landing the job appear to be remote given that the Pistons, according to sources, are determined to hire a former NBA head coach to replace the fired John Kuester.

    If that holds, former Atlanta Hawks coach Mike Woodson and ex-New Jersey Nets coach Lawrence Frank are ahead of Laimbeer in Detroit's pecking order, with sources maintaining that Woodson -- who was an assistant under Larry Brown in Detroit -- began the search process as the favorite.

    The Pistons, though, also like Milwaukee Bucks assistant Kelvin Sampson, despite Sampson's head coaching experience is restricted to the college ranks.
