Introducing our New Head Coach: Monty Williams | Press Conference | Pistons TV 

Suns fan here. Absolutely love Monty on and off the court and you guys officially have an outstanding man leading these dudes. All love from Phoenix 🤝🏻

shoutout casey for heading some of the most talent starved rosters i've ever seen. class act man.

Man I’m ready to see him lead Cade, Ivey, Duren and the squad 🔥

I totally respect and appreciate the honesty when Monty said it was about the 💵💵💵 in large part why he took the job. It irks me when an athlete or coach says it's never about the 💵💵💵 when obviously it is so his candor there was truly a breath of fresh air. 💯

Seems like a big shout out to Tom is necessary. Let’s get winning for this guy to show his true worth. I know Gores gets a lot of flack but today he showed out and it’s obvious with what Troy said. Something special is brewing here folks.

We here DETROIT Vs Everybody 🙏🏽

Monty is a real one. Love that he just kept it honest…the money he got is historic and he should mention that. Loved that comment.

Pistons got a good one. Monty is a great coach for a young team that needs direction.

Welcome coach......thrilled to have you in Detroit......

From one of the MANY fans of Monty in PHX, our loss is DETROIT'S gain... Monty is not only one of if not the best coach in the NBA, more importantly he is a great man and leader of young men! Monty, these trials in life as you know help shape all of us. You are a good man and coach, it was wrong of PHX to let you go, but the Lord will continue to bless you and your family..stay strong and walk the walk as the Lord walks beside you. It's obvious that the Lord placed you in Detroit to guide other young men on the right path in life. God bless you and your family. ✝️🙏

We welcome you Monty! Inspiring story man. Glad you are here

I like Monty already for being truthful by saying one of the reasons was the Money.

THANK YEW TOM FOR DROPPING THE BAG FOR MONTY! He is going to be paramount in turning around this franchise.

Troy my dawg but he needs a speech class ASAP

I love this awkwardly talking organization... We just keep it real and keep it moving. #DetroitBasketball

This gives me confidence

Take a shot for every time troy weaver says ummm 💀

Im thinking Bojan is at home in his country enjoying spending time with his family, but also im thinking Bojan might be getting traded. I like Monty Williams already. His answers seemed earnest and straightforward and the fact that 99.9% of the current Pistons roster showed up during vacation time for a 17 win team for a new coach press conference says a lot. Looking forward to the draft, summer league, pre season and regular season.

Troy is so interesting. Dude seems to basically thug other teams in trades and pretty clearly has solid evaluation skills, yet is not the greatest speaking in front of a crowd. Truly silent but deadly

Conference starts at 33:42

Monty I pray for ur wife and family. Let's goo pistons I'm soo excited for this.

deeeeeetroit basketballllll

Great Coach Looking Forward #DetroitBasketball

Early detection is everything when it comes to breast cancer. In January, 2017, my wife had a mass on her breast that was visible to the naked eye and having worked in the medical field I shouldve known yet we didnt seek medical attention until March. When the biopsy returned with a stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis we knew that our life as we knew it was over. She was gone by 2021. Again early detection is everything. When you lose your high school sweetheart after 25 years together its extremely difficult to get the train back on the tracks.

Welcome to Detroit Coach Monty Williams!!!!

Great Move 🎉❤🔥🙏👏

Let's go!!

The Pistons are going to be a force.

great coach! great basketball mind! we headed in the right direction

This is amazing and we ready 💯💯

In TROY AND GORES WE TRUST!!!🙌🙌🙌🔥. THEY BOTH MADE THIS HAPPEN. YALL KNOW HIW MANY TEAMS WANTED MONTY

Coach keep it real. "The money." The money is really good!! Really..really good!!

The 4 sentences in 6 minutes at the end show how well thoughtout everything he says is. Lol he goes all out on thinking his decisions through

Great pick up!

Let’s goooo!

I feel like The Pistons win the deal Dr.. give them 2 years

Damn Monty is real. This is just so great for Detroit.

I love my coach

I began watching the Pistons years before Zeke was drafted. Came back when Tom bought the team. Damn time for Detroit to play some good ball.

Monty looks so delighted to be there.

Monty is going to lead this team to much success!!!! Playoffs for sure this upcoming season

Detrooooooiiiiiittttttt! Basketball 🏀🏀🏀

Thought the one in the middle was spoelstra for a sec😂

(Watched the entire presser but late here with my comment) FULL SUPPORT!

MONTY!!

Troy "ummm" Weaver 😅

Monty is so legit

We will be a play in team if healthy next year because of this guy

Welcome to Detroit coach Williams

Take a shot every time weaver says um

God hold favor to Monty's wife and good luck going forward Coach!

Monty a good coach we in good hands

This was a good press conference to a man 😂

I can’t believe Gores actually went out and did something

i would have liked for someone to ask coach williams about his coaching style i understand he teaches a lot of ball movement

Here we are 8 month later, it really was all about the money. I say this with peace and love but please fire this man

We gone miss u Monty...dam

Does anyone notice the awkwardness of this press conference? There is obvious tension between Troy and Tom. I wish Monty well, but I don't know how he can focus on fixing this team while walking along his wife through cancer. Gores is desperate and this move is an obvious hail Mary response to frustrated fans. I hope this ends well for our team.

Welcome to the D Monty! Tom Gores just looks rich $$$

Cant help but notice how many times Troy says UM after having a public speaking class. 😅

Troy is so awkward during these press conference 😂

New era has begun

I can't wait for the rockets and Detroit finals

Troy and Doc Rivers voice make me wanna drink some water

Michigan has great doctors also

Tom Gore No More Talky!!! In a Adam Sandler voice 🤣

3 years rebuild and another 3 years to finalize, then a dynasty can be born.

What is the deal with the General Manager? Hearing him speak is excruciating!

Tom Gores looks like richard greico from Night of the Roxbury

We have real legitimate coach now

Why post the whole video when the first 30 minutes is dead air? Is there no way to trim a streamed video?

Weird vibe for an intro presser. Gores definitely got HIS guy, but there's a behind the scenes story not being told yet.

DETROITTTTTT UMMMMMM BASKETBALLLLLLLLLLL

This is just about the best hire they could have made. But is anyone else happy Gores doesn't speak publicly more? 🤣

It’s criminal that y’all posted a videos that don’t start till 30 mins deep

I’m not sure if it will get better, but it can’t get much worse than 17 freaking wins smh

So it might be me and I would like a guess there was good reason, but man when Monty talked about the team being there except Bojan it kinda focused on. "why isn't he here"

Detroit vs Everybody

Great move by Detroit. I hope he will develop this young team and steer them out of mediocrity. Detroit deserves a good basketball team, there is so much history there.

Time for the Pistons to get back to playing championship defense.

Better than Coach Spol! The best coach right now!

Welcome ummmmm to ummmmm Detroit ummmm!!!

You heard him “the money” atleast he didn’t lie like the other coaches would…

LOL😂

I sense a lot of determination and anger in this presser; but anger channeled in a righteous way. We know what the League did to us at the very last moment in this recent draft. Troy is angry, and the entire Management are angry. Last 3 seasons felt like 6. Coach Monty and Stephen got thrown off the boat by their previous Organisations; they're angry too. Believe me, an angry Detroit Pistons is bad news for the league but good for all for us. We Mean Business!!

My best analogy of what happened to the Pistons is Gores let Weaver select the ingredients, but not the recipe, and we’re left with a repulsive dish and everyone is pointing fingers about who to blame.

33:20 is this hope I’m feeling….

"That was not Pistons basketball. We did not compete." Alvin Gentry, The Pistons 25th Head Coach, after falling into a 2-0 series hole to Atlanta in 1999. "In 1980, this team won 16 ballgames. Bill (Davidson) was called a loser, the General Manager was a loser, the players were losers...and I say this to you: Champions are sometimes losers that just will not quit!" Jack McCloskey. Did the Pistons just win a title or did the Denver Nuggets? What is Gores doing on that stage? You let basketball people make basketball decisions. Your role is to tell us the business, the process, of the business. What the hell? We are building a quality organization, a billion dollar enterprise with a record that might make the Lions jealous, but not other NBA teams. It's a coach!

Gores : Monty Williams Weaver : Kevin Ollie Gores : 😐

I thought for sure that they were going to hire Mark Jackson or at least Frank Vogel. Monty got the W’s but no rings to show for it. His Sun’s choked when it counted every time. He led them to the finals one time with a injured beat up league and lost. And he didn’t show me that he knows how to use his bigs looking at his relationship with Ayton and Pistons having such a big team that would’ve scared me in another direction on its own fr But I hope I’m wrong and it works🤷‍♂️

Yessir

Monty was great for Phoenix. He needed to move on to become an even better coach.

Suns fan here but im hoping Monty can do what he did in phx with Detroit!

Um

But Monty generosity from Gore, the multi million deal ?😁, more then 98% of everyone and way above what is needed, money does not bring true happiness but can very potentially bring misery. But I do give you credit to say the truth in a sincere way! Sorry about your wife but good you got it early.

WTH Troy Weaver be talking about?

Really starting to not like Troy. Stevie and Brad certainly have him beat imo. Scott Harris hasn't had enough time. Monty seems legit though, I'm glad he wasn't afraid to mention the $$$$ as a part of his coming to Detroit. That's some real shit. Hopefully he can get the boys to their top tire and 'Ummm Weaver' helps him the best he can. Getting some vibes though that maybe Tom doesn't let Weaver make moves on his own and unless the owner is a true sports head doesn't always work well.

Um um um ummmmm who am i ummm

Man ..Was Troy Weaver ever a boxer? Dude sounds punch drunk.

Ummm I'm so happy that ummm I hit a lick on the ummm pistons ummmm
