After a fatal second season, the Detroit Pistons fired head coach Monty Williams on Wednesday, Yahoo Sports confirmed. Just before lunch, the team made the move official.
" Choices like these are difficult to make, and I want to congratulate Monty for his hard work and dedication", said Pistons user Tom Gores in a statement. " Coaching has several active issues that emerge during a time and Monty usually handled those with joy. But, after reviewing our performance cautiously and assessing our current place as an organization, we will chart a fresh course moving forth".
" I have great admiration for Monty as a manager and as a man, and I am certain he will be successful in his future activities", added Gores. I sincerely wish him and his home the best.
After four months with the Phoenix Suns and five seasons as head coach in New Orleans, Williams entered his second season in Detroit.
Williams leaves Detroit with a deal worth more than$ 65 million. His team won only 14 games last year, finishing in last position in the Eastern Conference. Before resuming their drought in late December, the Pistons lost an NBA-record 28 right game. Tom Gores, the team's user, made the final decision after the Pistons appointed Trajan Langdon as their new president next month. ESPN first reported on the novel.
