Top Contenders for Pistons Coaching Job
Last month, after a season-ending 103-81 loss to the Chicago Bulls, Dwane Casey announced he would resign from his head coaching duties and instead take a Pistons front-office job.
The team’s 17-65 record last season was the worst in the NBA, leaving Casey with a 121-263 overall record as head coach — a far cry from years ago when the “Bad Boys” dominated the league.
