In two seasons with the Pistons, Bickerstaff has recorded a 104-60 (.634) regular season record, including two consecutive playoff appearances. He has a career regular-season record of 359-350 (.506) in 10 NBA seasons as a head coach, including five playoff appearances.
This season, Bickerstaff led the Pistons to the best record(60-22) in the Eastern Conference. Additionally, the team advanced past the first round for the first time since 2008.
Detroit will begin its second-round best-of-7 series on Tuesday when it hosts Bickerstaff’s former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
