After the Pistons added a prominent assistant to their coaching staff, all signs were pointing to the team holding on to Monty Williams for another year, despite the question marks surrounding the veteran head coach.
“Decisions like these are difficult to make, and I want to thank Monty for his hard work and dedication,” Gores said via press release. “Coaching has many dynamic challenges that emerge during a season and Monty always handled those with grace. However, after reviewing our performance carefully and assessing our current position as an organization, we will chart a new course moving forward.”Currently, Borrego is considered a top candidate for the Los Angeles Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
