PHOENIX SUNS

Report: Lindsey Hunter wants to interview for Detroit Pistons job

Apr 24, 2013, 11:30 PM | Updated: 11:39 pm

The Phoenix Suns have not yet decided if they want to retain interim head coach Lindsey Hunter on a more permanent basis.

Of course, it’s possible Hunter will make the decision for them.

According to Detroit Pistons pre and post-game host Matt Dery, Hunter is interested in the team’s coaching vacancy.

Well how about that.

Hunter, who guided the Suns to a 12-29 record, spent the bulk of his playing career in the Motor City and was a member of the Pistons’ 2004 NBA Championship team.

The team recently parted with head coach Lawrence Frank, who was with the team for just two seasons. The Pistons went 54-94 under his leadership.
