The Detroit Pistons have signed J.B. Bickerstaff to a four-year deal with a team option for a fifth season.

Bickerstaff is known for his defensive coaching style and previously succeeded with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This coaching change follows the firing of the Pistons' previous coach and general manager.

The Pistons are aiming for a turnaround with young talent like Cade Cunningham and acquisitions like Tim Hardaway Jr.

There are mixed reactions to choosing Bickerstaff over former assistant Sean Sweeney.

Team president Trajan Langdon is focused on improving the team's performance after finishing last season with the league's worst record.

The Pistons have not won a playoff game since 2008.
