The search is over and the Pistons have their new coach.

The Pistons have agreed to a five-year deal worth a little more than $7 million annually with Dwane Casey to become their next head coach, a league source told The Detroit News on Monday morning. The hiring ends a search that lasted more than a month, after Stan Van Gundy was fired on May 7.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski was first to report the agreement.
