The Detroit Pistons set a new precedent after agreeing to terms with Monty Williams on a historic multi-year coaching contract. Monty has the attributes that Tom Gores and the Pistons front office sought out for to fill their head coaching vacancy. They were persistent in their pursuit for Williams, unwilling to take no for an answer. Tom Gores thinks Monty is more than capable of duplicating the success that rewarded him with 2022 NBA Coach of The Year Award.

Monty will look to bestow his touch upon another young core as he takes over the first chair, gracing the sidelines with a new voice, system, and brand of basketball to the Motor City. His offensive schemes helped catapult the Phoenix Suns into league supremacy, all while Devin Booker emerged into a perennial All-Star with All-NBA honors.

Coach Williams has shown a knack to take young guards to the next level in their development with his offensive philosophy. This should be intriguing with Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey already on the roster. Having multiple ball handlers with high IQ’s will help this young Pistons team thrive moving forward.

His approach systemically will shape a new beginning, none more obvious than on the offensive end, where the Detroit Pistons were one of the worst teams in the league last season, ranking at or near the bottom in nearly every category. When watching Monty’s team expect less dribbling, and substantially more ball movement, a staple of his preferred scheme.

So what is Monty Williams coaching philosophy?

Can it work with this Detroit Pistons team?

There is so many questions from the fanbase right now, hopefully this will answer some of them.
