"The Pistons have never been strangers to disagreements with their coaches, but rarely has it been so public and so vocal.

Tayshaun Prince and coach John Kuester got into a verbal confrontation Monday in the second quarter of the Pistons-Warriors game, in which the Pistons were trailing by more than 20 points since the beginning of the quarter.

Frustration began to boil over. After Prince was beat on a fast break by Rodney Carney, then scored on during the next two possessions, the lead ballooned to 25 and Kuester called timeout. On the way to the bench, the two had words. Then Prince slammed his towel down, yelling at Kuester.

Kuester responded in kind, and had to be restrained by assistant coach Darrell Walker. The two continued jawing throughout the stoppage in play. After the timeout, Kuester attempted to walk over to Prince and continue their discussion, but Walker stepped in again."
