Monty Williams salary: How much money does the Pistons head coach make

The recent NBA coaching deal signed by Monty Williams is the biggest in league history, and with performance incentives factored in, it could exceed an impressive $100 million.

Troy Weaver, the Pistons’ decision-maker, has displayed an unwavering faith in Williams by handing him the role as head coach of the team. Williams has a notable coaching pedigree, having led the Phoenix Suns to the NBA Finals just a couple of seasons ago, where they lost to the Milwaukee Bucks led by Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Williams’ return to a head coaching position was newsworthy in a league where coaching tenures can be fickle, particularly for coaches who fall short of ultimate success. His appointment was necessary, given his identity as an African-American coach, which addresses the challenges often faced by coaches of color in the industry.

Weaver’s endorsement of Williams carried immense weight as the Pistons were supposed to embark on a new era with a young and promising roster featuring talents like Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivy, and Jalen Duran. Williams’ long-term commitment was expected to provide a solid foundation for player development and team cohesion.

The move was strategically crucial for the Pistons, who have a clear vision for the next six seasons with Williams at the helm, and the stability expected to benefit the players and allow the organization to assess and tailor the roster according to his coaching philosophy. This, in turn, is believed to help the Pistons navigate potential player additions and subtractions with a clear understanding of the system they aim to build under Williams.

But no one predicted the beginning of this season will be so hard and winless.

Since Monty took the helm of the Detroit franchise, they equaled the NBA record of 26 defeats in a row during a single season, sharing the record with the Cleveland Cavaliers of 2010-11 and the Philadelphia 76ers of 2013-14.

Joyce Tsang of Stone & Star on Self-Care and Setting Intentions for the New Year

Joyce Tsang, the founder of Stone & Star, shares her self-care routine and tells Prestige why 2024 is the year of ceremony, celebration and new rituals. This year is an eight-year in astrology, which is all about abundance and expansion. There’s a shift happening this year that will never happen again in this lifetime and it’s Pluto moving into Aquarius. And if you subscribe to feng shui, all the masters will tell you we’re entering a new 20-year cycle. Either way, it’s almost like a rebirth for everyone. It also fits nicely with the Year of the Wood Dragon too, which is all about building a foundation and growth. This is the Year of Ceremony for me. There’s so much around this word, it could mean a public ceremony, like a marriage, or it could mean an inner ceremony and setting new rituals. The most important thing to remember this year is to treat life as sacred and to celebrate life and to embrace all the joys and magnificent experiences tha...

'Parrot fever' outbreak in 5 European countries kills 5 people

Image
An outbreak of a respiratory infection that most often affects birds has killed five people in Europe, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns. During 2023 and the start of 2024, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands have reported an "unusual and unexpected increase" in cases of so-called parrot fever, beyond what's been seen in previous years, the WHO said in a statement Tuesday (March 5). In all, the illness has affected almost 90 people, with five deaths reported among them.  Parrot fever, or psittacosis , is caused by a species of bacteria called Chlamydia psittaci (also spelled Chlamydophila psittaci ) . The bacteria can infect many mammals — including dogs, cats and horses — but most often infects birds.  Humans can catch psittacosis by inhaling airborne particles containing C. psittaci , but human-to-human transmission of the disease is very rare , with only a handful of cases ever reported. Instead, most people develop psittacosi...

Untrained bystanders can administer drone-delivered naloxone, potentially saving lives of opioid overdose victims

An onlooker – even one without prior training – can successfully administer naloxone to an overdose victim within about a minute of a drone delivering the lifesaving opioid reversal agent. That’s the key finding of my team’s newly published study. Naloxone is also known by the name brand Narcan. The study involved 17 participants responding to a simulated overdose . Each simulation included an un trained participant who portrayed a bystander , a box of naloxone deliver ed by drone , a mannequin as the overdose victim , and a panicked observer. The latter added a sense of urgency by continually shouting at the bystander throughout the simulation. Via a video playing on a screen carried by the drone, the bystander received instructions on how to use the naloxone, which is administered as a nasal spray. We timed each participant on how long it took them to correctly give the medication during this crisis moment. Our trial revealed that the average time for someon...
