76ers of Feather, Flock Together
If you don’t take my word for it, you may be surprised to discover I am not alone. Section 215’s George Kondoleon has an article out on what an incredible asset Brett Brown is to have on a rebuilding team. It’s definitely worth a read.

On the same day, Phillyvoice.com’s Rich Hofmann has a very complimentary article up about head coach Brett Brown as well. It’s also a very good read.
So why are three of your favorite Philadelphia 76ers writers all jumping to embellish Brown? Simply stated, the rise of interest in the NBA over the presumed success of Sam Hinkie’s efforts with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Sam Hinkie laid out the blueprints of the championship team. He even stocked up on talent and currency to complete the project. But make no bones about it. He was not the contractor tasked with building it. That falls, then, now, and into the foreseeable future, upon Brett Brown.
Hinkie made the choice wisely. He did not look at a wins and losses, but rather focused on the attributes of a winning coach in the NBA. He sought a coach from a winning coach’s tree, one with patience, great understanding of the game, and a bit of an innovator. He needed optimism, as well as a bit of a curious natured gent. In the end, the search ended at one man. Brett Brown.
