Bill Laimbeer resigned as coach and general manager of the WNBA champion Detroit Shock three games into the season Monday in hopes of landing an NBA job. “It’s time for me to be doing something else,” he said. “I want to coach in the NBA, and I think it was not fair to the Shock to try to coach them while my focus and passion were somewhere else. I don’t have another job, but it is something I want to explore.” Assistant Rick Mahorn, a teammate of Laimbeer’s from their Detroit Pistons days, was promoted to coach. Cheryl Reeve will remain an assistant and become the GM.
