No problem with it, bring PJ back.
Congrats Brett, and good luck!
Best of luck to him.
Congrats to him.
Pretty big step up. Best of luck!
Huge hire for us, never even heard of him and now he's coaching a storied NBA franchise! Reflects very favorably on the Spurs organization. We are the farm team for GMs, head coaches, etc. that's amazing!

Being back PJ!
bring back the little general and pj
"Source says 76ers favor Brett Brown as new coach"
"Brett Brown is the preferred candidate for the 76ers coaching job, according to a league source. If the job doesn't go to Brown, the search for Doug Collins' replacement would remain competitive, the source said. Portland Trail Blazers assistant David Vanterpool; Sixers assistant Michael Curry, a holdover from Collins' staff; and Boston Celtics assistant Jay Larranaga are believed to be the other serious contenders."
As Barkley said weeks ago, such a weird situation for Philly, not having signed a headcoach yet...
lol just hire somebody already
Congratulations and best of luck with the sixers.
Think Oden is making the HC decision for Philly, lol?
I want PJ back !!!!!!!
He will probably tell Pop not to bench Duncan in crunch time
So who replaces Brett?
Bring in Jerry Sloan.
Oberto?
How about PJ?
Avery Johnson?
Good God, no Avery Johnson. Besides, his ego is so big that he's unlikely to accept an assistant's job ever again in the NBA - and if Pop did offer him one, he'd probably orchestrate a coup to get him fired, so he could take over.
Some here might actually welcome that.Quote:

I don't know what's taking the Sixers so long. They're just looking for a coach to tank a couple of years so they can fire him.
Rumor is they are trying to get as much Intel as they can in the process.
What's up with people and decision making these days? It's not that hard.
Gonna go with my gut and say that the 76ers will make NBA history by starting the 2013-14 NBA season with NO head coach!
You heard it here first gentlemen. I'll be bumping this thread once October comes around.
They could bring in any coach on the face of the Earth and they would be tanking -- their roster is assurance of that. So I guess they're looking for someone who's good at developing players? For the same exact player, the difference in expected outcome between a player who goes to, say, the Spurs and that player going to the Bobcats is vast. If they're going to tank for raw talent, they need a chef that will cook it properly.Quote:

I'm pretty sure that I read Tim Duncan didn't get along that great with Avery Johnson. Someone correct me if I am wrong. If Tim doesn't really like him, then he has zero chance of being hired (if Avery were to accept an assistant coach role).
you know it is not fair to the spurs for sixers to take this long to make up their mind about brown
They still dont have head coach? :lmao :lmao
If I'm Brett Brown, I call the Sixers and say, "Thanks, but no thanks". Taking this long to find a coach is a real sign of trouble.
Adrian Wojnarowski from YAHOO sports reports that a second round of interviews
for Philly head coach this week. This includes coach Brown as one of four candidates.

•The NBA schedule was announced on Monday, with the reigning champion Miami Heat opening the season at home against Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls. From there every team will play 82 games, half at home, with its schedule distributed among other professional basketball teams and the Philadelphia 76ers, who have decided to field a team headlined by Kwame Brown and coached by no one. "We know that our fan base has the capacity to be patient while we retool and rebuild," said Sixers GM Sam Hinkie while his pants were being set on fire by Philadelphia superfan Gene Fallows. "And we hope to see growth from our young, OW OW HOT HOT HOT MY LEG!"
