Monty Williams, the former coach of the Phoenix Suns, will be named the new head coach of the NBA's Detroit Pistons, according to multiple media reports Thursday. ESPN and The Athletic said Williams have agreed on terms of a six-year deal with the rebuilding Pistons, who have not won a playoff series since 2008 and have reached the post-season only twice since 2009. ESPN reported the contract could pay $78.5 million, the largest coaching deal in NBA history, while The Athletic had it at $72 million, $12 million a season, with options and incentives for up to $100 million over eight years.
