Pistons hire John Kuester as head coach…
Written by The Go-To-Man Mattie T. on July 10, 2009
After getting to the Eastern Conference Finals in 6 of the last 7 years with Rick Carlisle, Larry Brown & Flip Saunders, the Pistons have decided to hire someone with no previous head coaching experience.
54-year old John Kuester will take over as the Detroit Pistons’ new head coach, as he will try to revive a team that suffered a disappointing 1st-round playoff sweep in April to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He has been part of a winning team before, as Kuester was on Larry Brown’s staff in 2004 when the Pistons upset the heavily-favored Lakers in 5 games to win their first championship in 14 years.
Detroit has already made a commitment to get more younger & athletic, as they lost free-agent forward Rasheed Wallace to Boston & have replaced him with forward Charlie Villanueva & guard Ben Gordon.
Kuester had previously spent the last 3 seasons as an assistant under Mike Brown for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
