MLive.com reports that the Detroit Pistons have fired Michael Curry as their head coach after one season.
Not much else to say about it. A little over a year ago when he was hired I questioned the move and…well…I guess I was right. Not much else to add as it was clear during the season that Curry was simply overmatched. He foolishly tried to play Allen Iverson and Rip Hamilton at the same time, then completely botched Rip Hamilton in every single way, followed by his team putting in one of the poorer efforts in NBA Playoff history. ...

...Laimbeer in? That's what came to mind for me upon hearing the news just now that Michael Curry has been fired. Second to mind was, about time!

He was dealt a tough hand to start the season last year, but he played that hand terribly none the less. Hamilton and him were reportedly not speaking to one another. He was yanking players in and out of the ...

The Pistons fired Michael Curry and his beautiful suits today
It's Just Sports —
Michael Curry was fired today , and I'm not sure how to feel about. Curry (along with Rodney Stuckey and Arron Afflalo ) were the first non-high school sports coaches or athletes I interviewed in my career as a pretend journalist. MC said a lot of wonderful things, things Pistons fans had longed to hear: "the young guys will play" and "Sheed will stay in the post more" and "we want to be both good and consistent." The man hit all of his talking points and hit them well. He was confident. He had played the game recently, making it seem as if he had both ...
