by Matt Watson Filed under: Pistons , NBA Coaches John Kuester has agreed to terms to become the next coach of the Detroit Pistons . Kuester wasn’t Joe Dumars ‘ first choice. (That’d be Doug Collins , who kept his hat in the ring just long enough to know that he was wanted.) And while we’re being frank, Kuester clearly wasn’t Dumars’ second choice, either. (That’d be Avery Johnson , who used the leverage of being owed $8 million over the next two years by the Mavericks to demand more than Dumars was willing to give.) But at the end of the day, there’s still a good chance that Kuester was still the right choice. Pistons Settle on John Kuester originally appeared on NBA FanHouse on Wed, 08 Jul 2009 04:30:00 EST .
