It's official now. The Pistons have fired Flip Saunders after three seasons in which he led the team to the Eastern Conference finals. No replacement has been named, but a press conference announcing Michael Curry as the new coach is expected sometime this week. I'll have more later in Booth Newspapers and on mlive.com

kcudah kcudah posted 6/2/2008 from www.detnews.com

We were all wrong. All of us who speculated that the Pistons' loss in Game 6 to Boston spelled the end of Flip Saunders' coaching life in Detroit were wrong. Saunders met briefly with Pistons president Joe Dumars on Saturday and all indications are that he was told he will be back. Understand that with the Pistons, a coach's job security can change in an instant, but as of today, the ...

'Sheed: new Piston Primo Brezec is 'gangsta'

kcudah kcudah posted 12/30/2007 from freep.com

"He's high-energy, he's very enthusiastic, he plays hard -- he's borderline out-of-control at times," coach Flip Saunders said. "... But you've got to like his enthusiasm. He's really well-liked by the players." Brezec got kudos for his hustle play in Friday's win, when he dove across the Pistons' bench trying to save a ball from going out of bounds. The move caused several Pistons players ...

The Detroit Pistons say Flip Saunders will not be back as coach next season. "Decisions like this are difficult to make," team president Joe Dumars said on the team's Web site. "However, at this time, I feel it is necessary to make a change." In his three seasons, the Pistons were 176-70 in the regular season and 30-21 in the postseason, but they lost in the conference finals each year.

Don't flip out. But it might be time for Flip Saunders to be out as coach of the Pistons, if only because the players might have stopped hearing him. It looked a little bit that way after the Boston Celtics eliminated the Pistons from the playoffs in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals Friday night at The Palace. Things didn't go well down the stretch, and that incriminates key ...

Reports of the Detroit Pistons demise may have been greatly exaggerated after Friday, but even with Sunday’s win Pistons backers need to be deeply concerned. This should have been a cakewalk, and it’s turning into an evenly-matched series.

Who would’ve thought, with all the Pistons’ playoff experience and seniority, that they would allow the Philadelphia 76ers to regain a 15-point deficit and steal Game 1 on Detroit turf?

Elijah Dukes faces the possibility of serving up to a year in jail time for some sort of domestic abuse. If you can remember, Elijah Dukes is the next Shawn Kemp and has a little bit of an anger problem. His wife now has a restraining order on him and he was put on the inactive list. Ah, maybe he can make it rain with Pacman now. Have a good weekend. Flip Saunders was almost fish food- ...

In the ESPN post-game show after the Pistons-Raptors game, Steven A Smith went on a diatribe about how the Pistons' disappointing season last year was all due to Flip Saunders. Smith went on to the effect that Detroit's starting five were begging Flip to play the bench more. Now, I haven't been able to identify Smith's "insider sources," but they don't seem to live in this dimension...
