Pistons Haven't Identified Leading Candidate In Coaching Search

The Detroit Pistons do not have a leading candidate in their head coaching search, according to sources.

There is belief, however, that the Pistons will elevate the process at the NBA draft combine in Chicago.

Phil Jackson has agreed to help the organization in an advisory role and could have Brian Shaw at the top of his candidate list.

Mike Budenholzer Emerges As Candidate For Pistons

Mike Budenholzer has emerged as a candidate to become the next head coach of the Detroit Pistons.

Budenholzer is currently an assistant with the San Antonio Spurs.

Joe Dumars spent several hours on Wednesday meeting with Budenholzer.

The Pistons have also met with Nate McMillan and also want to interview Kelvin Sampson.

Budenholzer's reputation as one of the next potential NBA coaches has increased in recent years and is considered a leading candidate to replace Gregg Popovich whenever he retires.

Pistons Hire Phil Jackson As Advisor In Coaching Search

Phil Jackson has agreed to serve in an advisory capacity in the Detroit Pistons' search for a head coach.

“Phil Jackson is a friend and one of the best minds in the business,” owner Tom Gores said. “We are thrilled to have him as an adviser as we make some very important decisions for this franchise. Joe (Dumars) and I discussed this and he and I are in full agreement that this is a great opportunity.”

Jackson's position will not be formal, but rather as an adviser for now. Joe Dumars said in a statement that he welcomes Jackson's input.

“Tom and I discussed using a consultant as part of our decision-making process in our search for a head coach and we feel that Phil Jackson is a great resource to use,” Dumars said. “I look forward to talking with Phil next week.”

Jackson has reportedly been seeking a front office role within an organization instead of a coaching job.
