We are pleased to welcome Maurice Cheeks as head coach to the Detroit Pistons organization. It was a long stressful interview process but we finally found the right man for the job. We have taken too many risks in the past leading to many failed head coaches for the Pistons players. Reaching our 33rd head coach we believe the team is now in safe reliable hands with Mo Cheeks. He impressed us with his extensive basketball knowledge as a former NBA player with the 76ers for 11 years as well as his outstanding communication and leaderships skills developed from previous coaching experiences with the 76ers, Trail Blazers and OKC. His talents are what this franchise needs for future successes. We want to win games and win back the hearts of our loyal Pistons fans. This is our time to revamp the image of Detroit and increase viewership by reaching out to future Piston fans throughout Detroit's communities. With dedication and determination, Cheeks has developed new strategy ideas to reach our goal of creating greater public awareness of the Pistons organization.
DEFENSE! DEFENSE! DEFENSE! Let the games begin!

Coach Options for Detroit Pistons
With many coaches available right now to take on the position for the new head coach of the Detroit Pistons, which one do you believe is the right fit? Stan Van Gundy would be a wise choice except he is most likely to take on a better offer elsewhere. Joe Dumars has made it clear that he doesn't want anything to do with the option for Bill Laimbeer as head coach. So who else is out there? Lindsey Hunter? He was a fantastic player in his previous years with the Pistons but it might be taking too much of a risk right now for the NBA team to hire him. They want winning results and don't want to risk picking the wrong person for the job. Nate McMillian has been making headlines as of lately to be one of the perfect matches for the team's new head coach. Does he have what it takes? Plenty of options are out there but he seems to be a great fit for them team and a perfect mentor for the younger players to take direction from. Help make a choice and voice your word for #VoteForCoach.
