AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Phil Jackson has agreed to help the Detroit Pistons search for a head coach.

The Pistons said Thursday night that Jackson will serve as an adviser.

The Pistons fired Lawrence Frank after a 29-53 season and 54-94 mark in his two seasons.

Jackson left the Los Angeles Lakers in 2011. The Hall of Famer has won 11 NBA titles as a coach, six with the Chicago Bulls and five with the Lakers.
