The former NBA head coach and Sam Hinkie colleague sounds off on the resignation.
Sam Hinkie's resignation has turned the Sixers into front-page news the last few days, providing discourse about the rebuild from all angles. Getting a fresh perspective from some notable NBA names is useful in gauging perspective outside of the Philadelphia hivemind.
Zach Lowe had ESPN colleague and former NBA head coach Jeff Van Gundy on The Lowe Post podcast to discuss the Sixers (among other topics), and the former Rockets coach spoke highly of Hinkie:
If you just look at the facts, you can make an argument, I think a valid argument, that he did a lot of good things that put them in great position going forward, but was pushed out.
