Report: Tom Wilson out as Pistons/Palace leader

The Detroit News

Tom Wilson has left his position as president and CEO of Palace Sports and Entertainment, according to a report.

ClickOnDetroit.com, attributing the information to sources, says chief operating officer Alan Ostfield will take over Wilson's position.

Wilson was not at his usual seat at The Palace Tuesday night during the Pistons' game against Minnesota.

Wilson joined the Pistons organization in 1977. He handles all business functions of the Pistons, The Palace, DTE Energy Music Theatre and Meadow Brook Music Festival.

He is a native of Detroit who graduated from Cass Tech High School and Wayne State University.

Armageddon has arrived!

Or salvation.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this, especially given the timing. Wilson was slime, but he was good away from basketball operations.

Dumars is next, if he doesn't like the new owner, he might be gone rather sooner than later...

He previously was senior vice president and general counsel for the San Diego Padres.
