Detroit — The Dwane Casey coaching era is officially over.
Casey announced after Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls that he was stepping down as Pistons coach and will move into a front office role after five seasons at the helm of the franchise.
"It's been a good 44 years," Casey said. "Tom (Gores) has given me the opportunity to move into the front office and I'm excited about it, to go to the next phase of my life."
The Pistons finished with the worst record in the league this season (17-65) and the second-worst in franchise history.
