Cheeks is Pistons' new coach, with work to do

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) Maurice Cheeks is ready for a new challenge, undaunted by the fact that the Detroit Pistons have been a revolving door for coaches lately.

Cheeks is the franchise's fourth coach in six seasons, so is he concerned about a job where so many others have failed?

"If we thought like that, nobody would be coaching," Cheeks said.
