Detroit — In the past two seasons, the Pistons notably have flipped their entire roster, with a whole new group of players since general manager Troy Weaver arrived.
This season, there was another transformation, with head coach Dwane Casey reforming his coaching staff, switching out his assistants and bringing in a new group to help mold the new roster, comprised mostly of young players.
The new coaching staff includes Rex Kalamian, Jerome Allen, Jim Moran and Bill Bayno, who each will have specific roles in working with the offense and defense. The key was that they can be more hands-on with the direction the team is going with such a young core, having a different set of needs than the previous group of players on the roster.
