Sean Sweeney is joining the Detroit Pistons as an assistant coach on Dwane Casey’s staff, according to a report from Eurohoops.net.
Marc Stein of the New York Times reported earlier that Detroit was “making a hard push” to hire Sweeney. The Eurohoops report indicates that Sweeney will sign a multi-year deal and will be a “prominent” assistant under Casey.
Sweeney is well-regarded for his player development work and was the coach closest to Giannis Antetokounmpo for the past several years in Milwaukee, and he also worked closely with Thon Maker and other young Bucks players to develop their games.
