Reports: Curry out as Pistons coach

Posted by DAREDEVIL Tuesday, June 30, 2009

MLive.com in Michigan and ESPN are reporting that Michael Curry has been fired as coach of the Detroit Pistons, lasting only one season as Flip Saunders' replacement.

"This was a difficult decision to make," Pistons president Joe Dumars said. "I want to thank Michael for his hard work and dedication to the organization. However, at this time, I have decided to make a change."

Speculation about why Curry was dismissed figures to center on the coach's strained relationship with Rip Hamilton. The two reportedly haven't been on speaking terms.

Detroit was 39-43 this season under Curry. In the 2007-08 season, the Pistons were 59-23 with Saunders.
