Just reported on ESPN First Take

From realgm.com

The Detroit Pistons announced on Tuesday that Flip Saunders will not return as the Pistons’ head coach next season, according to a Yahoo.com report.

Saunders, 53, had one year remaining on the four-year contract he signed with Detroit in June 2005.

But Pistons president Joe Dumars decided it was time to cut ties with Saunders, who posted a 176-70 regular-season record in his three seasons with Detroit.

YES! Sad to see him lose his job but happy to see him gone from us lol. I hope Curry or Avery will be our next coach, unless Lamiber mans up and quits the WNBA lol.

Yea I saw this earlier, after thinking about this, I really dont think it was the best idea. IMO it wasnt Flips fault, it was our team. We were meant to play together, we dont have a standout guy like Cleveland, so if one person fails cough cough sheed cough cough then we all go down, and thats what happened.

What are you talking about lol.
We have 5 great players on the court at all times, if one fails we should have the other 4 step up.

It's both the team and Flip's fault.
So fix both..
