Why Gov. Gretchen Whitmer spent a day as a member of the Detroit Pistons coaching staff

A guest coach helped the Detroit Pistons coaching staff in a recent workout for the franchise’s younger players.

As part of an initiative to work for a day at various Michigan businesses, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer stood with Pistons coach Dwane Casey and other members of the coaching staff as Killian Hayes, Saddiq Bey, Saben Lee and others worked on their games a few days before the Pistons used the No. 1 pick to select Cade Cunningham in the NBA Draft.

When it came time for shooting drills, Whitmer was there to deliver passes to players coming around screens.
