As the Detroit Pistons began a search for a new head coach after Dwane Casey announced he was taking a front office position, there were reports from The Athletic that the team would interview high-level assistants, but would also not rush to make a hire. The patience was geared toward seeing if any top coaches in the NBA playoffs were dismissed.
True to form, the Pistons reportedly hired a slew of candidates with top assistants Charles Lee of Milwaukee and Jarron Collins of New Orleans joining Overtime Elite’s Kevin Ollie as the “front-runners.” Also true to form, some of the NBA’s top coaches are getting fired.
