The NBA’s coaching carousel continues and Detroit is front and center. The club fired Lawrence Frank last week and their search is well underway. Former Blazers coach Nate McMillan has been on the team’s radar ever since they let Frank go, and the two sides will meet today. McMillan has been widely regarded as the favorite.
Nate would be a good shot in the arm for a franchise that needs a change. After trading Tayshaun Prince, there no more pieces from the glory years and Nate would be a good place to start.
The Detroit Pistons have opened the interview process in their search for a new coach and are scheduled to sit down Tuesday with Nate McMillan, according to NBA coaching sources.
The Pistons likewise were planning to interview Phoenix Suns interim coach Lindsey Hunter this week after Hunter — who is widely expected to lose his post with the Suns after the dismissal of general manager Lance Blanks last week — sought and received permission to interview for the Detroit opening.
McMillan was recently labeled as the favorite for the post by the New York Daily News after the Pistons fired Lawrence Frank.
