Beilein: Offer from Pistons would have been tough decision

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — John Beilein says he was never offered the Detroit Pistons’ coaching job, but if he had been, it would have been a tough decision.

Beilein is now looking ahead to another season of college basketball after briefly emerging as a candidate for the Pistons. Not long after the news broke about Beilein’s talks with Detroit, he said he’d be back at Michigan . The Pistons eventually hired Dwane Casey earlier this month.

On Tuesday, Beilein held a news conference to talk about the offseason. He says he was impressed with the Pistons’ organization and will be rooting for them.
