Pistons Fire Coach!

The Detroit Pistons have fired Head Coach Michael Curry after just one season on the job. Pistons GM Joe Dumars cited that Curry lost the faith and respect of the players.

My Opinion: I always felt that Curry did not have a grasp of the team early in the season. But I think it's time to bring in someone who has proven themselves with the Pistons....like uh maybe recently the resignation from the WNBA Detroit Shock, of the true Bad Boy...BILL LAIMBEER! Coincidence that he resigned on June 15? And now Michael Curry is gone..HMMMM....
Still though, "Lam the Man" has the killer coach instincts that the Pistons need. He is a competitor who never gives up. His desire to coach an NBA team could become reality if given the chance. I say he deserves it.
I also felt that the firings of former coaches Rick Carlisle and Flip Murray were mistakes. Larry Brown wouldn't have won and coached for an NBA title if it wasn't for Carlisle's building a foundation of that Pistons defensive team. Carlisle won coach of the year in the 2001-02 season with the Pistons. And we all know the collapse of a hopeful back to back title against the Spurs in 2005 blew up in the face of Larry Brown and the Pistons. (Brown was to busy dreaming of his future job with Knicks that he got and was then fired after just one disastrous season)
