The Pistons chose not to look far for their fifth coach in nine seasons.
Curry was on Saunders’ staff last season, his first as a coach, and he played with Dumars about a decade ago and with some current Pistons during the 2002-03 season.
He will make $2.5 million a season as part of a contract that includes three guaranteed years with the team holding an option for a fourth.
Assistant coach Dave Cowens, who also was on Saunders’ staff, will be retained. Coaches under contract with other teams are being considered for the remaining openings along with Pistons guard Lindsey Hunter if he retires.
“We’re going to be a staff that is going to be here from the summer until the end of the season and will be here for players to continue to develop and breaking down other teams in the league,” Curry said. “We’re going to be a hardworking staff from top to bottom.”
