Four days after buying the NBA's Detroit Pistons, Tom Gores is looking for a new coach.

John Kuester was fired as coach of the Pistons on Sunday after going 57-107 over two seasons in the job, both of which ended without trips to the playoffs.

The Pistons won their third NBA crown in 2004 during a streak of six consecutive runs to the playoff semifinals or deeper but slipped to 27-55 in Kuester's first season guiding the club and 30-52 this past season.

"Decisions like this are difficult to make," Pistons president Joe 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."
