How the Detroit Pistons transitioned from Stan Van Gundy era to Dwane Casey’s new reign

This is no place for slander on former Detroit Pistons boss Stan Van Gundy, or as some people call him, Jeff Van Gundy’s brother.

To be fair, he was given not only a head coaching position but also the president of basketball operations job when he was hired in 2014, a position only head coaches Gregg Popovich, Doc Rivers, and Mike Budenholzer held at the time. Now only Popovich retains both duties as the league pushes away from that trend.

Stan studied under Pat Riley for 12 years until he took his talent from South Beach the long trek over to the middle of Florida, in Orlando.
