With Larry Brown all but gone from Detroit at the end of the playoffs, Flip Saunders has emerged as the choice to become head coach of the Pistons, according to the New York Daily News.
After the Pistons reportedly made contact with Saunders as early as April 4th, sources say Saunders has held off on taking a job because of Brown's expected departure, and that Saunders would welcome the chance to take over a veteran team that is currently working on its second straight championship.
