AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Michael Curry is coming back as the Detroit Pistons' coach.
Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars held a news conference Wednesday to wrap up a miserable season and he ended doubt about his plans on the bench.
Curry was 39-43 in his first year as a head coach and his second season in the coaching profession.
A Pistons team that opened the season with high hopes couldn't recover from the loss of All-Star point guard Chauncey Billups in a November trade to Denver for Allen Iverson. Iverson's past-his-prime game and pride proved to be a bad fit in Detroit.
The Pistons plummeted to the last spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs and were swept in four lopsided games by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Piston fans need to give this guy some times to install his whole offense and defense with this group. He made a ton of rookie mistakes, but he'll be fine.
to be fair to curry, he did inherit a horrible situation. I don't know if he's a good coach, but I don't think giving him another year is a horrible thing.
