Pistons coach Dwane Casey steps down, 'excited' to join front office
Chicago — The Dwane Casey coaching era is officially over.
Casey announced after Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls that he was stepping down as Pistons coach and will move into a front-office role after five seasons at the helm of the franchise. Casey said the team would benefit from a "new voice" and cited spending more time with his family as another reason for stepping away from the sidelines. He was joined in his postgame press conference by his family, including his wife and two children.
"It's been a good 44 years," Casey said. "Tom (Gores) has given me the opportunity to move into the front office and I'm excited about it, to go to the next phase of my life.
