MLive.com in Michigan and ESPN are reporting that Michael Curry has been fired as coach of the Detroit Pistons, lasting only one season as Flip Saunders' replacement.
"This was a difficult decision to make," Pistons president Joe Dumars said. "I want to thank Michael for his hard work and dedication to the organization. However, at this time, I have decided to make a change."
Speculation about why Curry was dismissed figures to center on the coach's strained relationship with Rip Hamilton. The two reportedly haven't been on speaking terms.
Detroit was 39-43 this season under Curry. In the 2007-08 season, the Pistons were 59-23 with Saunders.
