Pistons beat reporters have suggested some intriguing names -- including grizzled veteran Jerry Sloan, experienced-but-not-quite-grizzled Nate McMillan ... and even local heroes Tom Izzo and John Beilein.

Lawrence Frank wasn't the problem. Then again, he wasn't part of the solution, either.

Speaking to reporters Wednesday for the last time as head coach of the Detroit Pistons, Lawrence Frank sounded like a man who knew his fate -- and lamented how it might impact those of his assistants.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski's sources, Lawrence Frank gave Tom Gores an ultimatum and a decision on the coach is expected to be made on Thursday at The Palace.

The Pistons closed out the 2012-2013 season with a 103-99 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. They finish 29-53.

The Pistons are currently tied for the 7th worst record in the NBA with the Washington Wizards at 29-52.
