Pistons won't let Bucks talk to Hammond
Quote:
The Milwaukee Bucks have hit at least one road block in their search for a new general manager.
The Bucks, seeking to replace the departed Larry Harris, asked the Detroit Pistons for permission to speak to John Hammond, their vice-president of business operations, about the position but the Pistons refused.
At a recent press conference, Bucks owner Herb Kohl said that he was looking for someone who had been successful and had experience in the NBA. Hammond would fit both criteria as he is in his seventh season as the right-hand man to Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars. The Pistons have appeared in five straight Eastern Conference finals, have had six straight 50-victory seasons, and won the 2004 NBA championship. Hammond has 28 years of coaching and administrative experience – 17 professional and 11 in college.
This does not necessarily rule out Hammond as a candidate if the Bucks remain interested as sometimes in situations like this a team – Detroit in this case - will re-consider its position and grant permission if their executive continues to express an interest in talking to the other team about the job opening.

That's a person who'd interest me. Maybe things will change.
