The Pistons will soon have a coaching vacancy, as you can't extend Casey after this season and there is only 1 year left on his deal. I'd kick the wheels on Beilein at least and give him another chance now that he's had some time with the franchise. I'm not sure there is another guy out there who would come to Detroit and definitely be successful.

He wouldn’t definitely be successful *cough* Cleveland *cough*… he might even be an utterly terrible choice.

Maybe so… Beilein didn’t even finish a season…

You learn and grow from past failures.

It would've made great sense to give Beilein the reins on an interim basis had Dwane Casey been shitcanned midseason.

I think giving Beilein a multi-year deal on a permanent basis would be a bad idea given the fact he has no track record of successfully coaching at the NBA level. The Pistons should not have the time nor patience for an "experiment."

Quin Snyder is the guy the Pistons should've hired, but it's too late now. I mentioned his name months ago. He is the new head coach of the Atlanta Hawks. He signed a five-year contract on or about March 1. Very wise move by the Hawks!

I'd also keep an eye on Scott Brooks. He is currently Chauncey Billups' top assistant in Portland, and of course, Brooks is well known as being the former head coach of the OKC Thunder.

Does the average NBA player want to listen to a 70-year-old man? They haven't a winning coach since Flip Saunders.

Mentioned as possible replacements included Charles Lee and Adrian Griffin.

Lee is the top assistant coach in Milwaukee. Hes younger and came to the Bucks with Budenholzer.

Griffin has been an assistant coach since 2008 with multiple teams. Hes currently with Toronto.

It's official.

I'm glad he resigned as head coach, but I don't want Dwane Casey in any role with the Pistons organization other than perhaps radio color commentator or usher.

LMAO @ the P.R. spin of Casey's move to the front office being a "promotion."

It's a lateral move at best.

I don't get why you hate the guy so much. Read Niyo's column for some additional perspective. The tl;dr is that he did what was asked of him.

https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sport ... 096803007/

Do what was asked of him??? I could've been head coach and they'd still be able to win at least 17 games! A lump of coal could've been named "head coach," and this team would've won at least 17 games.

I don't have any hate for him as a person, I just think he's a terrible head coach. His defensive schemas are garbage.

How much of a free pass should head coaches be given during a rebuild, in your opinion? Five years? Ten years?

Casey said he would give the Pistons a 60-win season when he was hired. Geez - he came up just a little bit short. In hindsight, it was very foolish of him to make such a proclamation.

Nick Nurse was fired by the Raptors. Could be in the mix for the Detroit job.

How about nominating somebody from this board for the job? They could probably do it better than Casey.

Mike Budenholzer just became available. Milwaukee shitcanned him today.
