Detroit Pistons president, CEO Tom Wilson resigns after 32 years
DETROIT (AP) — Tom Wilson, who for more than three decades has been the face of one of the nation's most successful sports and entertainment enterprises, resigned as president and CEO of the Detroit Pistons and Palace Sports & Entertainment on Wednesday.
Wilson said that after the death last year of Pistons owner Bill Davidson, the time was right to move on.
"I have had the honor to be a part of the Pistons family for the last 32 years, 31 of them working alongside Bill Davidson," Wilson said in a prepared statement. "He was a dear friend and partner. I believe that, with Mr. Davidson's unfortunate passing, however, the time is now right for me and my family to explore many exciting opportunities that have come my way recently."
