Detroit Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff says he has an “old-school mentality” toward his new team’s dress code due to growing up with his father, former 10-season NBA coach Bernie Bickerstaff.
That’s why players can no longer pull the hoods of their sweatshirts over their heads during warmups, according to The Athletic’s Joe Vardon.
“Just the last shred of that old-school mentality,” Bickerstaff said, per Vardon. “Just growing up with my dad, you don’t wear anything on your head during the game. You don’t wear jewelry. You practice how you play.”
The Pistons, coming out of a franchise-worst 14-68 record last season, are so far 2-2 in the 2024-25 preseason under Bickerstaff.
