Flip Saunders fired

The Detroit Pistons are now on their search for a new coach. Flip Saunders was released today.

“Decisions like this are difficult to make, especially with the success we have had throughout the last three regular seasons,” Dumars said in a statement. “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.” - Joe Dumars

I figured this would happen because Saunders helped them to the Eastern Conference Final each of the last three seasons. However he was unsuccessful in winning each time. I still think he should be given to chance to finish off the last year on his contract. I mean, unless they plan of bringing in a load of new faces, just keep Saunder one more year.

I can't help but think the Pistons will go after Avery Johnson.
