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.

He can't win the big games, so let him go.

Avery Johnson should go to Detroit. I think he'd be a breath of fresh air. He hasn't won big games, but he'd get that team to play the way he wants.

they got michael curry to replace him. all i can remember from this guy is that i played him a hell lot in my nba live 2003 while he was with the(my) pistons back in the day, hehehe.
