The Detroit Pistons have found their new head coach.
Selon Adrian Wojnarowski d’ESPNJB Bickerstaff would be the new pilot of the Pistons for the next five years.
Bickerstaff emerged from a field of several candidates to land the job under new president of operations Trajan Langdon.
Bickerstaff guided the Cleveland Cavaliers through a rebuild, winning 99 regular season games over the past two seasons and leading Cleveland to the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Cavaliers fired Bickerstaff after the season and hired Kenny Atkinson.
The Pistons will be Bickerstaff’s fourth head coaching job, following stops in Houston, Memphis and Cleveland.
Detroit fired coach Monty Williams after an NBA-worst 14-68 record in his first year of a six-year, $78.5 million contract. The Pistons also fired general manager Troy Weaver, bringing in Langdon.
