The Miami Heat could be on the verge of losing another top assistant coach. 

The Detroit Pistons have requested permission to interview the Heat's Chris Quinn, according to a report by Bleacher Report's Chris Haynes. The Heat face the Milwaukee Bucks today in Game 1 of their first-round series. 

Quinn, a former Heat player, is the latest in the line of assistants to receive interest from around the NBA. David Fizdale and Juwan Howard were the most recent departures. 

Quinn is in his ninth year with the Heat. Last year he filled in for coach Erik Spoelstra when he was in the league's health and safety protocols. 

“Spo is a top 15 coach of all time," Quinn said last season. "Any time you have a mentor of that level, also with coach Riley around so much, mentors of that level. I’ve learned in my seven or eight years of coaching tremendously from Spo. It only makes sense that my voice sounds like him at this point.”
