    DETROIT (Reuters) - The Detroit Pistons have appointed Cleveland Cavaliers assistant John Kuester as their new head coach, the NBA team announced on Thursday.

    Sports

    Kuester has worked as an assistant coach at numerous NBA outfits, including a spell with Detroit in 2003-04, but he has not previously worked as a head coach.

    Detroit, who are overhauling their squad, fired head coach Michael Curry last month.

    "There is no magic formula - our philosophy will be to do things the right way. Hard work will be the key to our success," the 54-year-old Kuester told a news conference.
