Detroit Pistons general manager Joe Dumars announced Sunday that John Kuester will not return next season as the Detroit Pistons head coach. The decision was made following a meeting between ownership and Kuester.



"Decisions like this are difficult to make," Dumars said. "I want to thank John for his hard work and dedication to the organization over the last two years, however, at this time we have decided to make a change."

New owner Tom Gores indicated a decision on Kuester's future would be made within a week during his introductory press conference on Thursday.
