The next Pistons coach shouldn't expect to hang around for long: it's win or die with the Detroit ballclub, and even then, the exit might still be looming.

What NBA team has higher standards than the Pistons? In the last six years, they've chased away Rick Carlisle, Larry Brown, and Flip Saunders, three coaches who won 50 games every year with the team. So if Michael Curry, or Terry Porter, or whoever takes over for Flip expects to be there for awhile, they're sadly mistaken. It's win, or hasta la vista.
