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!
