Who Do You Like To Coach This Team Going Forward?
Brett Brown did nothing to deserve the atrocious record he has racked up as the Sixers head coach. He coached the team with passion.
Unfortunately, he was given teenagers to turn into stars. As a result, sub-mediocrity has made its home in Philadelphia. This city is all too familiar with an NBA winning culture, the likes of which both Julius Irving and Allen Iverson brought to the court night in and night out.
Speaking of Allen Iverson, it would be interesting to see if A.I. could get a player development position on the Sixers coaching staff. Similar to the role of Elton Brand for the front court, Iverson’s well storied career would be instrumental in infusing wisdom into the team’s rookie gaurds: both today and tomorrow.
