Reports continue to come out of Minneapolis that Detroit Pistons head coach Flip Saunders is going to be the next coach at the University of Minnesota, his alma mater. Saunders has two years and $9 million left on his Pistons’ contract.
Sid Hartman, long-time columnist at the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, citing former Gophers coach Dan Monson as his source, reported that a deal already is in place to make Saunders the next coach.
“That’s ridiculous,” Saunders said Sunday. “That’s not true.”
