If you want to figure out how much power Brett Brown has within the 76ers organization, start with Thursday’s press conference.
The head coach was introduced as the team’s interim president of basketball operations/general manager during the press conference in which the Sixers announced the resignation of Bryan Colangelo because of the Twitter controversy. The ownership chose Brown over Colangelo’s highest-ranking executive, Marc Eversley, the vice president of player personnel.
But instead of acknowledging the additional power he has been given, the coach spoke of providing guidance until the team finds a permanent replacement for Colangelo.
