Ex-Piston Stackhouse named D-League’s coach of year

Jerry Stackhouse played 18 seasons in the NBA, including four-plus seasons with the Pistons, where he once averaged nearly 30 points per game in a season.

A two-time All-Star with the Pistons as a player, Stackhouse is showing he’s a pretty good coach, too.

Stackhouse, who coaches the Raptors 905, was named the NBA Development League Dennis Johnson Coach of the Year in a vote by his fellow NBA D-League head coaches.

In his first season, Stackhouse led the Raptors 905 to a 39-11 record and a Central Division title. They are the top overall seed in the D-League playoffs.
