The Detroit Pistons have announced the hiring of J.B. Bickerstaff as their new head coach, following a busy offseason that saw the team’s front office undergo significant changes. Bickerstaff, who was previously fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers in May after being eliminated from the playoffs in the second round, will be tasked with leading a rebuild that has been ongoing for longer than desired in Detroit. This move marks the third time in three seasons that the Pistons have hired a new coach.
The departure of long-term general manager Troy Weaver and the appointment of Trajan Langdon as the new president of basketball operations signaled a major shakeup within the organization. Following these changes, head coach Monty Williams was let go despite signing a record-setting six-year, $78.5 million deal just a year ago. Bickerstaff will now take over as the team’s leader and look to turn things around after a historically bad 14-68 season that included an NBA-record-setting 28-game losing streak.
The Pistons have not made it to the playoffs since 2019 and have only won more than 20 games once in the five seasons since then. With Bickerstaff at the helm, they hope to break this streak and get back on track towards becoming a successful franchise once again. CBS Sports will provide updates on this developing story as it unfolds.
