On Tuesday, Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press reported that Arnie Kander would be coming back to the Detroit Pistons’ staff. Kander will be consulting with the team on injury prevention and training regiments.
When the news hit, other fan bases may have been puzzled by the fervor that surrounded Kander’s return.
For instance, Ellis’ tweet has generated more than 30 retweets and over 150 likes. However, there are some valid reasons for the outpouring of excitement.
For one, Kander is associated with the better parts of Pistons’ history. Per Ellis, Kander was working at Rochester Knee and Sports Therapy when Isiah Thomas became one of his clients.
