The Detroit Pistons and Head Coach Dwane Casey have to extend his contract by one year, which Casey is under contract until after the 2023/24 season. This is what Adrian Wojnarowski reported (ESPN). Casey has been training the Pistons for three seasons.
The Pistons are in the middle of the rebuild with a balance of 20:50, Detroit has won 81 games and lost 137 games under Casey’s leadership.
In Troy Weaver’s eyes, the Pistons are clearly well on their way under Casey, as the Pistons General Manager revealed several weeks ago. “I absolutely believe that we have the best coach in the world for our situation,” said Weaver, explaining, “His calm and the way he sets the tone with these guys is great. It is often said that the team is the personality of the coach and that’s what happened here. “
With Killian Hayes, Isaiah Stewart, Saddiq Bey and Saben Lee, the Pistons already have a few rookies on the team who have indicated their potential for the future. In addition, Jerami Grant is playing the best season of his career in his first year in Detroit and is considered one of this year’s candidates for the “Most Improved Player” award.
Casey was head coach of the Minneosta Timberwolves (2005-2007) and Toronto Raptors (2011-2018) before taking office with the Pistons, where he was named NBA Coach of the Year in his final season. The 64-year-old also served on Rick Carlisle’s coaching staff when the Dallas Mavericks became NBA champions in 2011.
