Being an assistant for the Detroit Pistons apparently pays off more the being a head coach. As Michael Curry was named the Pistons next head coach.  This was the second hiring of a former Piston assistant today as Terry Porter was also named coach of the Phoenix Suns.
Michael Curry will be the Detroit Pistons head coach next season after only one year as an assistant.
A former teammate is not surprised.
Curry is set be introduced as Detroit’s new coach at a news conference Tuesday, Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars told The Associated Press.
Dallas Mavericks guard Jerry Stackhouse, who played with Curry in Detroit, said Curry was like a player-coach during his career on the court.
“It was just a matter of time,” Stackhouse said a telephone interview with the AP on Monday. “Everybody who knew Michael from his playing days knew this is where he would end up.
