Chuck?

posted by The Hammer on Jun 3

In the wake of the completely expected firing of Detroit Pistons Head Coach Flip Saunders, rumors are circulating that Chuck Norris is being courted for a defensive coaching specialist position by General Manager Joe Dumars. Dumars, disgusted with his team’s lack of defensive presence against the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Championships, is urgently seeking out a solution to help the Pistons regain their “bad boys” image of the 1980s. A source close to Dumars says he was pondering this dilemma while flipping through the channels late at night—he stumbled upon the classic Chuck Norris flick Forced Vengeance and was immediately inspired. Apparently Dumars feels strongly that with the personal guidance of Chuck Norris, his team can gain the mental and physical toughness necessary to (finally) win the Eastern Conference.

As a side note, it also rumored that Dumars is hoping to obtain a Total Gym that can be dedicated solely for the purposes of bulking up Tayshaun Prince.

There is no word yet on whether Chuck Norris will accept.
