Why did the Pistons fire Flip Saunders? His winning percentage is .715, the highest in Detroit Pistons history.
Let's see what Pistons president Joe Dumars had to say about it.
"Decisions like this are difficult to make, especially with the success the Pistons had throughout the last three regular seasons. 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."
Ugh.
Oh yes, did I mention he had a playoff record of 30-21?
Yeah, ridiculous. Even my two year old sister could tell that- if she followed the NBA like me.
