Royal Oak — After three seasons and two promotions in the Detroit Pistons front office, assistant general manager Pat Garrity clearly is on the fast track.
This offseason, he interviewed for the Atlanta Hawks general manager position — a job that recently went to Travis Schlenk — and he’ll soon interview for the open Milwaukee Bucks GM job, his current boss, Stan Van Gundy, confirmed Monday.
“Pat is a highly-qualified guy,” said Van Gundy, the Pistons’ coach and president. “I knew that when we brought him here.
“His background in both basketball and the business world, there’s really not too many people who have that combination, so he’s gonna be a sought-after guy.
