More often than not, players will support a coach in public. It’s rare for anyone — even stars with untenable egos and clear motivations — to outright discredit a coach to the media. With that said, the Philadelphia 76ers‘ exit interviews were still telling.
As rumors circulate regarding Brett Brown’s future with the organization, multiple players were quick to offer support. It has been stated multiple times on this site that firing Brown would be a mistake. A serious miscalculation on the front office and ownership’s part.
If the Sixers were to fire Brown, it would most likely be a face-saving measure.
