The Detroit Pistons are planning to interview current TNT and "Inside The NBA" analyst Kenny Smith for their head coaching vacancy, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports.
Detroit had also reportedly discussed the position with Smith prior to the draft combine, according NBC Sports' Vincent Goodwill.
Smith also reportedly interviewed for the New York Knicks head coaching job back in April, according to Stephen A. Smith, prior to the team hiring David Fizdale.
Smith has no prior coaching experience at the collegiate or NBA level.
"The Jet" had a 10-year NBA career, and captured two championships while playing with the Houston Rockets for their back-to-back title-winning seasons in 1993-94 and 1994-95.
