New Head Coach Michael Curry isn't afraid to play hardball with the Pistons, according to The Associated Press.

He was introduced as the team's coach on Tuesday during a press conference.

"I don't think you make anybody play. I think you substitute," Curry said Tuesday. "You remove the ones that are unmotivated. That's pretty simple."

Pistons' President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars believes he has picked the right man for the job.

"Guys either respect you or they don't, and they respect this guy," Dumars said. "Those guys trust him."

"They know he's a tough guy, and they know they're going to have to get it done."
