Hiring Dave Joerger was a good call by Doc Rivers and the Philadelphia 76ers.

Like Brett Brown before him, the Philadelphia 76ers new head coach Doc Rivers has had some high-profile assistant in the past. Tom Thibodeau, Lawrence Frank, Sam Cassell, and Tyron Lue to name a few. As he starts his tenure with the Sixers, Rivers wasted little time in adding a big name to his staff in Philly.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Rivers has hired Dave Joerger to his assistant coaching staff.
