Pistons Hire Lawrence Frank as New Head Coach

The lockout puts an end to certain league dealings, but teams with coaching vacancies still must fill that void. The Pistons have tabbed Lawrence Frank as their new coach. Frank actually did a decent job in New Jersey (up until his final year anyway).

The Detroit Pistons have chosen Lawrence Frank to be their new head coach, according to sources with knowledge of the team’s thinking.

The Pistons have selected Frank over former Detroit assistant Mike Woodson, with sources telling ESPN.com that the decision signals the growing influence in the organization of former New York Knicks executive Dave Checketts.

Yahoo! Sports first reported that Frank’s hiring is imminent. The Associated Press reported that Frank will have a formal contract offer from Detroit within the next two days.

More details on Frank’s hire can be found at ESPN.com.
