Detroit Pistons TV analyst Grant Long is hoping to land a job as an assistant coach this summer. From Terry Foster of The Detroit News:

"Grant Long loves being a Pistons analyst for Fox Sports Detroit. But he wants to become an NBA coach, and he is making the rounds this offseason hoping to land an assistant position to begin his journey. 'What's odd is when I was playing I heard all the time from coaches what a wonderful coach you would make,' Long said. 'And when I finished playing I got nothing. Sometimes it's just lip service until you get in.' Long has gone through the NBA's coaches program, and coached three pre-draft camps and the Nets summer league team. He was known as a student of the game at Eastern Michigan and during a 15-year NBA career that included stops with the Pistons, Heat and Hawks. Long retired in 2003."
