    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">DETROIT (AP) -- Flip Saunders will be back as coach of the Detroit Pistons next season, an NBA official with knowledge of the team's plans told The Associated Press on Monday night.

    The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Pistons haven't made an announcement about Saunders' future, said bringing the coach back for a third season is part of Detroit's retooling plan.

    Though many believe the Pistons could make significant changes this offseason and some have suggested a fourth coach in six years for the franchise, Saunders said he "absolutely" expects to return.

    "That's never been a question," Saunders said Monday in a telephone interview with the AP.</div>

    Since it looks like Flip is returning, I have a feeling that Rasheed won't be playing the Detroit come next season. Just a gut feeling, but a very positive one. I don't Filip could control him and the management needs to do something about it.

    I didnt want Flip to return, i'll be honest, I just cant see him ever taking us to a championship. Although this could be good for the team, having a bit of coaching consistancy for once, lol.

    Sadly I thought either flip or sheed had to go. I think Sheeds going to be gone next season, but I respect the hell out of him. You guys from other teams wouldn't understand.

    I understand, I'll miss Rasheed too when he leaves.
