The Detroit Pistons have fired coach Michael Curry after his first year. The first-year coach piloted the team to a 39-43 record in the regular season and saw his Pistons get swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs.

Curry took over the reigns in Motown after the squad had reached the Eastern Conference finals in six consecutive years.

Curry played for the Pistons from 1996-1997 and again from 1999-2003.
