AP Source: Pistons & former Tar Heel John Kuester nearing a deal

The Detroit Pistons are close to ending their search for a new boss on the bench. The Pistons and John Kuester were nearing an agreement Tuesday night to make him their coach, a person familiar with the negotiations told The AP. Kuester played college basketball for UNC from 1973-77. He spent the past two seasons as a Cleveland Cavaliers assistant and was on Larry Brown's championship-winning staff in 2004 with the Pistons.
