The Detroit Pistons Fire Michael Curry After One Season
With only hours before the start of free-agency, the Detroit Pistons have fired their head coach. Detroit Pistons president Joe Dumars has given coach Michael Curry his walking papers after just one season amid ongoing concerns about Curry’s command of the locker room.
The Pistons fear that keeping him could hamper Detroit’s offseason business.
NBA Sources say that the Pistons expect to have more spending money than any team in the league when the free agent market opens.
Pistons spokesman Kevin Grigg said the timetable for naming a new coach was up in the air.
“Obviously with the free agency period starting tomorrow, we don’t know quite the speed of it,” Grigg said.
