Detroit Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars
announced today that Flip Saunders will not return next season as the
teams head coach.
Decisions like this are difficult to make, especially with the
success we have had throughout the last three regular-seasons, Dumars
said. However, at this time, I feel it is necessary to make a change.
I thank Flip for his hard work and dedication, but it is time for a
new voice to lead our team.
The search begins and Avery Johnson is not the answer. He couldn't
get Dallas over the hump. I doubt he could get Detroit over it
either.

Yeah, because you brought in Saunders, so to fire him, you would be
admitting you made a mistake.

I came into this year no big fan of Flip's, but I don't think you can
pin the ECF loss on him. -- Joe

I felt this year was the best he had done as a coach. Developed a couple of
young players so that they gave solid contributions in the playoffs and
Stuckey now looks like a future star. Dumars expressed that he was upset at
Afflalo didn't get more playing time but I never saw anything from him that
showed he deserved it.
It's not really Flip's fault that Sheed went insane for the 2nd year in a
row in the conference finals. I mean you can pin it on the coach if you want
but he has had exactly one coach that has ever been able to control him so.

I think you can. He changed the guys out on the floor in the 4th
quarter. He had a group that was scoring and defending. He brought
Sheed and McDyess (I think it was) back in and the Celtics pulled away
while the Pistons didn't score.
