The Detroit Pistons have fired Michael Curry as coach, the team announced Tuesday.

“This was a difficult decision to make,” Pistons president Joe Dumars said in a statement. “I want to thank Michael for his hard work and dedication to the organization. However, at this time, I have decided to make a change.”

Curry was named coach on June 10, 2008 and was 39-43 this past season.

The Pistons were swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in four games.
