Dwane Casey, who was a constant presence with the Kentucky men’s basketball program in the 1970s and ’80s, is moving on from his current position.

On Sunday afternoon, Casey announced that he will no longer be the head coach of the Detroit Pistons, adding that he intends to move into a front-office role with the franchise. Casey had been the Pistons’ head coach since the 2018-19 season after spending the previous seven years as the head coach of the Toronto Raptors. During his time in Detroit, Casey posted an overall record of 121-262 (.316), reaching the playoffs just once during his first season.
