Detroit — As the Pistons’ season winds down, my time as the Pistons beat writer also is winding down. For those who haven’t heard, I’ll become an assistant sports editor at The Detroit News after the season.
Seven years on the Pistons beat have taught me a lot about basketball and a lot about how we’ve covered it. I hope to take that knowledge with me to the next phase of my career and help to enhance our coverage and to make things more interesting for the readers.
This isn’t the time to say goodbye yet — I’ll have a column at some point about that — but it does have me a bit nostalgic about some of the adventures on the beat and some memories that will stick with me.
