Dwane Casey out as head coach in Detroit, will join front office

Dwane Casey is stepping away from his head coaching position with the Detroit Pistons and joining the team’s front office, he announced after Detroit’s 103-81 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Sunday.

Casey served 14 years as a head coach in the NBA, the last four with the Pistons. He took the Pistons to the playoffs during his first season, but the past three he has shepherded an extensive rebuild and wins became secondary to developing a large group of young players.

He finishes in Detroit with a 121-263 record, which would be the second-lowest of any head coach in Detroit who coached for more than one season.
