Tim Grgurich, a pioneer of basketball skill development and one of the most well-regarded coaches in the NBA is “likely” to join the Detroit Pistons coaching staff, according to Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press.
Grgurich, 76, has floated around on special assignment work for many NBA teams over the years, most recently working with the corps. of young players in Milwaukee. He spent years under George Karl and before that was known as Jerry Tarkanian’s right hand man at UNLV.
Pistons head coach Dwane Casey got his fist NBA coaching gig under Karl in Seattle, and he knows Grgurich extremely well.
